Agent pages need tool calls, confirmation, and failure handling

For developers and enterprise users, agent trust comes from a reviewable chain, not from saying the work is automatic.

Where the workflow shifted

Agents SDK, tool calling, computer use, and web search demand show that teams care less about chat and more about safe task completion.

An agent page should describe a task from input to tool calls, confirmation, output, logs, and failure handling.

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

  • Rewrite one agent demo as a delivery flow: input, tools, confirmation points, output, logs, and rollback
  • 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

Agents without confirmation and failure paths are hard to place inside real operations. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
