arXiv:2610.21708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When an LLM agent misbehaves, a human steps in, and that intervention is usually discarded or replayed as training data. We treat it instead as a measurement: a label pointing at the internal computation that failed. We study it in a controlled agent environment, on one failure (asking a clarifying question when the request was already unambiguous), with labels from a rule-based overseer validated against blind human judgment. Claims cover eligible models, which both over-ask and sometimes act on matched unambiguous requests: five of thirteen q
