In the agent loop, a large share of token consumption comes from the agent repeatedly making small judgments (such as safety gates, format checks, and whether to hand off to a human), rather than from executing the task itself.

VerifiedCompleting a complex task in an agent application often requires multiple rounds of reasoning and invocation, with each step generating token consumption77% similarVerifiedAn effective Agent testing approach is a combined strategy of layered testing, sandbox isolation, decision-execution decoupling, and human-in-the-loop, rather than reliance on a single tool.76% similarUnverifiedIn coding scenarios, agents may generate patches that pass unit tests but progressively diverge from users' actual specifications.76% similarUnverifiedAfter introducing a strict oracle, the Agent's strategy will adjust quickly, which is a direct signal for judging whether the oracle is effective; if the Agent's behavior pattern does not change, it means the oracle may still be bypassable.76% similarUnverifiedThe article advises users to first establish a clear direction before handing tasks to an Agent, and to build external checkpoints to guard against false productivity.76% similar
