Where the workflow shifted

Agent automation needs orchestration, security, human review, and production readiness.

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

  • Sell outcomes and controls, not only agent capability
  • 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.
