What would be bad in that?

Writing the best possible specs for these agents seems the most productive goal they could achieve.

I think the idea is fine, but what might end up happening is that one agent gets unhinged and "asks" another agent to do more and more crazy stuff, and they get in a loop where everything gets flagged. Remember that "bots configured to add a book at +0.01$ on amazon, reached 1M$ for the book" a while ago. Kinda like that, but with prompts.

Nothing necessarily or obviously bad about it, just trying to think through what went wrong.
