It's a systems engineering job. You need to provide context, acceptable failure modes, and test at each level for validation. Identify false coupling, poor interfaces, things that don't match business context during agent planning phase. Then communicate / translate to others so their decisions improve instead of destroying the system by optimizing only for their local situation.
