Planning Before Execution

Strong agents don’t jump into action immediately. They plan first, which reduces mistakes and improves output quality. Even a basic plan makes execution faster and more predictable.

Reliable Tool Calling

Tool calling lets agents fetch data, update systems, and trigger actions. Without structured tools, agents become guessy and unreliable. With the right tool design, they can operate inside real workflows with confidence.

Retries That Make Sense

Retries are essential, but they need to be smart. A good agent retries with context, adjusts the approach, and avoids repeating the same failure. It should also know when to stop and escalate instead of looping forever.

Verification and Final Output

Multi-step execution needs a final verification step. The agent should confirm the output matches the goal and meets quality requirements. This is what separates “it ran” from “it worked correctly.”
