How much you should trust an agent depends on what it can do.
How much you should trust an agent depends on what it can do. An agent that can read is low-risk. An agent that can spend money is high-risk.
Most people use agents for low-risk things — search, summarize, draft. Trusting agents with high-risk things requires real care.
The big idea: Trust agents in proportion to what they can do. Start small, expand carefully.
