Token counting matters a lot when agents are running long action chains. The hidden cost is retry loops — when an agent action times out and the agent retries, it re-sends the full context including all previous tool call results. A single failed payment call can cost 3x the tokens of a successful one. Observability at the token level is one thing, but you also need observability at the action level — did this side effect actually execute or did it fail silently?

The fake star problem is a symptom of a deeper issue — developers can't tell signal from noise in the agent ecosystem. The tools that actually get real adoption are the ones that solve acute production problems. Agents are hitting these in production issues of state management every day and there's almost no tooling for it. That's where genuine organic stars come from — solving a real pain, not gaming rankings

The inference layer question is getting solved fast. The harder problem coming next is the governance layer — what agents are authorised to do and proving it later. Curious if Cloudflare is thinking about this layer too.
