The problem LangChain agents are impressive at reasoning, planning, and execution. Give one access to a browser, a code interpreter, and a few APIs and it'll knock out workflows you'd have spent hours on. But there's a gap nobody talks about: money. Specifically, the fact that your agent has zero native ability to pay anything. If it decides mid-chain that it needs to outsource a subtask to a cheaper or specialized model - a translation, a scrape, a computation - it literally cannot. It can draft the request. It cannot commit to it. That's not a missing feature. It's a missing layer.
