What is an AI agent?
What is it?
An agent is an AI assistant that chains steps to complete a task: it follows instructions, uses MCP servers and contexts, and respects guardrails.
When to use it
- Automate a multi-step task (support, monitoring, document triage).
- Share a working agent, ready to rerun.
