Direct answer
Knowledge agents should retrieve, cite, and refuse when sources are missing. Uncited answers are a liability in ops and client work. Prefer grounded retrieval over unconstrained generation.
What good looks like
- Workflow map exists before build
- Irreversible actions have owners and gates
- Tools of record are explicit
- Success is defined as finished work quality, not model verbosity
What bad looks like
- Demo theater without production path
- Unowned automations
- Invented metrics instead of operational evidence
