Why it matters
Addresses the critical pre-commit decision in long-running agents, where a single step can have significant consequences. The benchmark reveals that models tend to over-refuse authorized actions, providing valuable insight for calibrating agent behavior to avoid both unsafe actions and unnecessary delays.
Motivation
Long-running LLM agents act through tools, and a single step can send an email, merge a pull request, or wire a payment.
