Agent Lifecycle Stage:
1
User Intent & Planning: "Audit customer refund request #4092 and settle payment."
2
Tool Calling: Emits structured JSON call crm_get_transaction(id='4092').
3
Guardrail & Verification:Paused: High-value action requires human operator sign-off.
4
Final Settlement: Refund recorded, email receipt dispatched, and audit log stored.
Core takeaway: An AI agent is not just a language model—it is a closed loop of planning, tool invocation, and environment feedback. Production systems require self-healing retries and strict human approval guardrails.
