Analytics agents need a 'harness' for reliable data processing

An analytics agent requires a "harness" to effectively process queries, especially when dealing with incomplete or timed-out tool results. This harness acts as an intermediary, managing context, exposing tools, verifying permissions, and meticulously recording the outcome of each step. It ensures that the AI model receives accurate information about data coverage and execution status, preventing misinterpretations that could arise from partial data sets or system timeouts. The system should clearly indicate when results are truncated or uncertain, allowing the agent to make more informed conclusions. AI

IMPACT This technical component could improve the reliability and accuracy of AI-driven analytics tools.
