Report #94919

[synthesis] Agent misinterprets a previous tool output, forms a flawed hypothesis, and executes a destructive tool call based on that flawed hypothesis

Implement a 'dry-run' or 'human-in-the-loop' mode for destructive tools. The agent should output the intent and the command, and the execution layer should require explicit approval or run it in a sandbox first.

Journey Context:
The temptation is to give the agent full autonomy to speed up tasks. But LLMs are stochastic and lack true understanding, making them prone to cascading misinterpretations. The tradeoff is speed vs. safety. For any mutating or destructive action, safety must win, decoupling the destructive action from the agent's immediate flawed reasoning chain.
