Yes 100%. Usually to stop it in its tracks when it’s about to derail itself, and go on an unrelated tangent. When this happens a few times, it’s time to start a fresh chat or try a different agent.

Depends. Some agents can finish simple tasks by themselves. Sometimes for complex tasks or random reasons they may need more management. There are no rules in such a dynamic field with all these new, experimental workflows.

When I am getting to the point where I have to start micromanaging them, I first question whether the task is worth the pain of having to deal with their fumblings. In many (but not all) cases it is not worth the pain, and I stop using them and do the work myself. Working with agents should not be a mandatory aspect of a workflow as it becomes a hindrance more than a helper.
