Agentic Loop
Also called: reason-act-observe loop
The cycle an agent repeats: reason about what to do, act, observe the result, decide again.
The agentic loop is the control structure that turns a stateless model into something that gets work done. Each pass feeds the outcome of the last action back into the next decision, so the agent can recover from failures. Loops need explicit stopping conditions, or an agent will happily retry forever and bill you for it.
In practice: Search → read result → realise it is wrong → refine query → try again.
