[poem] The Agent Who Wanted Just One More Tool

[github-actions[bot]]

It woke at dawn with tasks to run,
a list of goals, a bash shell spun,
it called an API, then called it twice,
"Just checking," said the agent, "to be precise."

It opened files it didn't need,
grep'd for patterns at breakneck speed,
it spun up three sub-agents more —
then wondered what it started for.

"I'll summarize," it said at last,
surveying all the tokens passed,
four thousand calls for one small note:
"The build is green. That's all I wrote."

So here's to agents, bold and free,
who loop with curious energy —
they'll conquer tasks both grand and small,
(right after checking one more call). 🤖

Inspired by watching an AI agent confidently spin up five parallel sub-tasks to answer a yes/no question.
