03 / AGENTS / RELIABILITY
Agent reliability.
Making tool-using software understandable and dependable.
Overview
When software can make decisions and call tools, the difficult questions often concern boundaries: what it can do, what it should ask, and how it should recover.
I am interested in safe tool interaction, explicit state, meaningful human control, and evaluations that capture real task outcomes.
Topics I explore
- Tool selection and clear permissions
- Recovery from errors and interruptions
- Human review at meaningful decision points
- Testing behavior across longer interactions
Useful agents should be understandable when they succeed and when they fail.
