An agent here means the model can choose a tool, see the result, and continue.
A single call with no tool is not that loop.
The Anthropic engineering note on building agents is a clear public overview. Confirm it is current.
A workflow with fixed steps is often enough.
This lab does not claim a production agent deployment.
If the steps never change, write them down. Call a model only where a step needs language. That is a workflow, and it is a valid design.
