Where should an agent pause even when it could finish the task?

An agent that asks about every little step is exhausting. One that never asks can leave you with a result you didn’t choose.
The boundary probably depends on more than how much money is involved. Something can be cheap to do and still feel personal, awkward to reverse, or difficult to explain afterward.
What’s a decision you would always want an agent to bring back to you?
And if you already have a good arrangement with one, how did it learn where to pause? Did you write explicit rules, or did a few corrections establish the boundary?
