Where the workflow shifted

A useful agent starts with a defined task, tool boundary, state, logs, and review path.

Tool names are not outcomes

The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.

Check permissions and failure

  • Package one reliable workflow before promising a general-purpose agent platform
  • Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production

What still needs proof

Treat this as a primary signal, then still check pricing, limits, and real adoption before acting. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
