AI agent workflow

See the loop between a model and the tools its application allows.

What this diagram shows

An application runs the agent. It gives the model a goal, instructions and available tools. The model can respond directly or request a tool call. The application checks and executes an allowed call, returns the result to the model and repeats until the model finishes or a limit is reached. An answer should identify which tool result supports its claim. This is a conceptual flow, not a particular provider API.

Follow a concrete tool call in How an AI agent uses a tool.

Make it fit your system

1. Replace “Check a trace” with one real tool your application can call.
2. Label what permission or argument check happens before the call.
3. Add one failure or stop condition that matters for your task.
