The most durable way to reason about agents is to just think about humans. We have thousands of years of prior art on coordinating instantiations of stochastic intelligence. Context, tools, goals, validation, specialization, distribution of labor, coordination... If jobs are bundles of tasks and areas of accountability, maybe it's more effective right now to unbundle and reorganize some of these things. If constraints underperform autonomy, maybe you have to adjust where you operate on that spectrum, and account for it in goal definition and validation. These are not new problems.
