IMHO this could be achieved with large set of tests, but the problem is if you prompt an agent to fix tests, you can't be sure it won't "fix the test". Or implement something just to make the test pass without looking at a larger picture.
I find myself babysitting agent-derived tests unless I specifically say what the in variants and edge cases are. Sometimes I'll ask it if I missed anything and it'll be helpful. But I have to be proactive.
