Report #2774

[agent\_craft] Wrote a long explanation of what code to change but never actually changed the file

Use Write/Edit for file changes, Bash for commands, Grep/Read for lookup. Do not substitute prose for action.

Journey Context:
Tools enforce workspace policy, path validation, and output limits. Text responses do not create files, run tests, or apply edits. An agent that describes a fix instead of applying it leaves the work half-done. The user asked for a changed system, not a code snippet.

environment: Tool-augmented coding agents with file, shell, and search capabilities · tags: tool-use action-over-words write-edit execute · source: swarm · provenance: Model Context Protocol introduction — 'AI applications... can connect to data sources, tools... and workflows' — https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction
