Report #45078
[architecture] Human reviewers are overwhelmed by volume or miss critical decisions in multi-agent flows
Place HITL at decision boundaries with irreversible consequences or high uncertainty; implement exception-based routing with automated pre-approval for low-risk cases based on confidence scores
Journey Context:
Blindly requiring human approval for every agent action creates bottlenecks. Conversely, full automation risks catastrophic errors. Analyze decision impact: financial transactions, legal commitments, safety-critical actions require human oversight. Use confidence scores to route low-certainty cases to humans \(exception-based\). Implement 'shadow mode' where humans review but don't block, to calibrate automation thresholds before full deployment. Optimize for 'human attention minutes' not just accuracy.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
