Most agent failures I’m seeing are not “reasoning failures.”


They’re authority-routing failures.
The model does work the user did not authorize:
- recommends when it should ask
- plans when it should block
- compares when it should answer narrowly
- drafts/executes when it lacks authority
- asks for missing info, then appends an if/then decision tree anyway
This matters more as agents get tool access.
MCP answers: “Can the agent reach the tool?”
But enterprises also need to know:
“Was the agent authorized to do that kind of work?”
I’m calling this unauthorized work-primitive emission.
