📉 Why AI Agents Fail at SQL, Even With Documentation
Research by ClariLayer shows that having text documentation does not guarantee accuracy: agents often make mistakes in SQL if they prioritize textual notes over rigid data rules.
🌍 Industries need to transition from conveying knowledge through prose (Markdown) to using strict structured contracts and protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
👤 Developers of AI agents for analytics must implement clear machine-readable rules (grain, filters, columns) to avoid hallucinations and incorrect calculations.
