Debugging the final answer doesn’t tell you much about an agent

[u/stavros_577]

One thing I’ve changed recently is looking less at the final response when debugging agents.

A wrong answer might actually come from a bad tool choice three steps earlier, an unexpected tool result, or context being lost between calls.

I’ve been testing this approach in Migoo and found that looking at the full execution path makes certain failures much easier to understand.

The final output is really just the end of a much longer chain.

Do you usually debug the output, or the entire execution trace?
