The bounded agent execution lab

Agent lab · BriefingScene 1 / 6

An agent is a model inside an action loop

The model chooses; tools execute; observations change the next choice.

An agent is a model inside an action loop ready.

The minimum agent combines an LLM, tools and a loop until a stop condition. This creates capability and new failure modes: wrong tools, malformed arguments, loops, premature completion, permission abuse and accumulating cost.

Tool schemas define possible actions.
Observations become new context.
Stop conditions and permissions are product logic.
