Agent Loop
Also known as: Agent Loop / エージェントループ / 推論ループ
The cycle an AI agent repeats — reason, call a tool, receive results, re-reason — until a goal or stop condition is reached.
Overview
The loop: LLM generates a reasoning trace and tool-call JSON → host executes → result appended to context → LLM re-reasons. Repeats until done or a budget is exhausted.
Loop depth, token budgets, and error handling directly determine agent reliability. Claude Code's Hooks let developers inject logic at each iteration boundary.
