Field notes / 03

Clear roles.
Observable work.

An agent workflow combines model-based analysis with constrained executable tools. This is a conceptual guide to responsibilities and evidence, rather than a live deployment status page.

01 / REQUIREMENTS

Define the goal

Turn the request into concrete constraints, dependencies, and a structured task list.

02 / INFRASTRUCTURE

Prepare the plan

Propose service configuration and request approved deployment tools.

03 / SECURITY

Review the boundary

Inspect the origin policy, TLS settings, and scope of the proposed changes.

04 / VERIFICATION

Check the evidence

Run checks, interpret observations, and report failures with a proposed next step.

Communicate in data.

Agents can exchange JSON messages or artifacts with a task identifier, sender, recipient, observations, and outcome. A downstream agent reads the previous output programmatically.

Explicit schemas let the application reject incomplete decisions before they reach a tool.

Separate reasoning from execution.

The model proposes or interprets an action. Deterministic code validates its arguments, checks approval, runs an allowed operation, and returns the actual result.

Failures become feedback. A tool error should produce a diagnosis or stop condition, not a fabricated success message.

Evidence matters. A useful execution log connects the task, model response, tool arguments, actual tool result, and validation outcome. Never include credentials in those records.
