An AI developer discovered that documented best practices for AI agents are often not followed in practice, highlighting the gap between documentation and actual adoption. Initial measurements indicated minimal use of a cost-saving model routing rule, but a subsequent audit revealed a blind spot in the measurement tool that failed to account for subagent activity.
