What issue are you seeing?

I wrote a tool for my agent, and inside that tool, I left a main function without implementing it, just filling it with pass. Then I said I wanted to see its result, and it actually went ahead and ran that function. What I meant was for it to complete the main function.

Then I saw that the input was written in JSON, so I asked why use JSON instead of pydantic? It interpreted that as meaning the output should also be written using pydantic.

In another conversation, it made error handling extremely complicated, identifying an error code for every single error. I really don't understand what it was thinking.
