The majority of our everyday activities are procedural and consist of sequences of interdependent steps. However, existing benchmarks for Visual Agents and Visual Language Models (VLMs) overlook the evaluation of their procedural comprehension ability from an egocentric visual perspective, particularly for detecting procedural errors, a critical capability for everyday assistance. To bridge this gap, the EgoErrorVQA task is firstly proposed for egocentric procedural comprehension with explicit procedural errors modeling. Besides, we develop a user-friendly evaluator agent based on the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, enabling rigorous and standardized evaluation of visual agents through VQA-based interaction. A range of models are evaluated using both open-ended and multiple-choice questions, revealing persistent weaknesses in handling procedural errors and error types. Moreover, we introduce Ego-ADR, an Adaptive Decoupled Reasoning framework that decouples complex procedural reasoning to enhance models' understanding of procedural errors. It achieves consistent performance gains over the selected baselines and attains state-of-the-art results on several metrics under comparable settings. Code: https://github.com/z1oong/EgoErrorVQA
