Agents
Problems where agent behavior expands, acts outside intent, fails to finish, modifies state, or chooses actions without enough stable control.
Primary Issues
- Agent Keeps Expanding the Task
The agent repeatedly expands the task, plan, scope, or next-step list instead of completing the declared work.
- AI Adds Work Not Requested
The AI adds tasks, steps, analysis, checks, changes, or follow-up work that the user did not ask for.
- Routing Overrides Task Intent
Routing, mode selection, agent behavior, or workflow classification sends the task down a path that overrides what the user was trying to accomplish.
Also Related Issues
- No Owner for Agent Action
An agent action can affect the system without a declared responsible owner, authority, or accountable decision path.
- AI Touches Unrelated Scope
The AI affects, edits, analyzes, changes, or reasons over material outside the scope of the requested task.
- Agent Never Settles on Final Answer
The agent keeps revising, rechecking, planning, or branching instead of converging on a final answer or completed result.
- Agent Modified Unrelated State
An agent changes state outside the requested task, target, file, record, workflow, or authorized scope.
