[research] Agent executes destructive or costly tool calls based on a flawed internal plan

Implement a plan-then-execute eval step where an LLM judge or human-in-the-loop evaluates the agent proposed sequence of actions before any tools with side-effects \(e.g., DELETE, WRITE, DEPLOY\) are executed.

Journey Context:
Agents are eager to act. If an agent decides to drop a database table instead of querying it, evaluating the final output is too late. By evaluating the plan \(the proposed tool calls\) before execution, you can catch catastrophic reasoning errors without incurring real-world costs or damage.
