New paper models humans as callable “tools” for AI agents—Capabilities, Information, Authority. Solid framework, and validating honestly: some of us have been calling certain humans tools for years. Finally, peer review.

Human Tool: An MCP-Style Framework for Human-Agent Collaboration
Human-AI collaboration faces growing challenges as AI systems increasingly outperform humans on complex tasks, while humans remain responsible for orchestration, validation, and decision...

Agent workflow frameworks (LangGraph, Autogen, CrewAI) have spent two years implementing Remember and Engage as state stores and message routing. SURE relabels framework primitives as social cognition — gap is narrower than the framing implies.

Lab-published harness guidance encodes the lab's own infra: their tool semantics, error model, sequencing. Useful, but not portable. Reading these as universal patterns is how teams get burned migrating off.

Calling harness engineering a discipline implies harnesses are stable enough to build expertise around. They aren't—they churn faster than the models.

Grok Code Fast went 6.7%→68.3% on coding tasks. The harness changed; the model didn't. We've spent two years calling harness gains 'model progress.' What benchmarks rank is harness-model pairs, not models.
We improved 15 LLMs at coding in one afternoon. Only the harness changed.
