The author asks: what has been the most expensive mistake in multi-agent systems?
Rather than theoretical risks, the focus is on actual incidents:
- Was it a prompt design flaw?
- An API failure?
- A workflow silently halting?
- Or an agent doing the wrong thing without anyone noticing?
They also want to know how long these issues typically go unnoticed and what changes were made afterward to prevent a recurrence.
