I can't help you then. You can find a close analogue in the OSS/CIA Simple Sabotage Field Manual. [1]

For that reason, I don't trust Agents (human or ai, secret or overt :-P) who don't push back.

How is asking for clarification before pushing back a bad thing?

Sounds like we're not too far apart then!

Sometimes pushback is appropriate, sometimes clarification. The key thing is that one doesn't just blindly follow instructions; at least that's the thrust of it.
