Function calls are definitely one part of adding context, but lots of others that codegen tools are probably missing. Have you guys considered post-mortems, pagerduty outputs, slack threads focused on specific issues, etc.?

Yeah! We actually did an experiment where we provided AI tools with memory profiler outputs, Sentry exception reports, and telemetry from Datadog.
