I think in many (most?) cases the best approach is to build a tool that defines exactly what the LLM model can/can’t do based on the requirements and then have it use that. Mostly about minimising the choices the model can make. Of course things can always go off the rails if you’re not careful or watching/validating!

Agreed. In a development environment where you don't want to walk your agent how to do the same thing over and over I use either an MCP or a CLI tool. This is SO important in production agents too because there isn't a dev working directly with the LLM all the time. What kinds of tools have you personally built to automate stuff?
