Full definition of agent
Agents work by giving the LLM a set of tools (functions it can call), letting it decide which to use, executing the call, feeding results back, and looping until done. Useful for tasks that require multiple steps or external data lookup. Tiny Command's TinyAgents builds on this pattern with a visual builder. Examples: research bot that searches web + summarizes, support bot that looks up CRM + drafts reply.

FAQ
Common questions about agent
Are agents safe to run autonomously?
Not for consequential actions. Add human-approval gates for irreversible operations (refunds, deletes, sends). Use Tiny Command's approval-message pattern.
What's the difference between an agent and a workflow?
Workflows execute fixed steps. Agents pick which steps to run based on context. Agents are more flexible but harder to predict and debug.
