AI agent
An AI agent is a system in which a language model decides which steps to take and which tools to call to reach a goal, and repeats until it is done or stops. Tools can be a search, a database query or an action in another system. Because the model chooses the path, agents need limits, logging and checks on their work.
Definitions are general and kept short on purpose. Check the vendor documentation or the regulation for the details of your case.
