Execution Model
How your agent executes commands safely and reliably.

Understanding the execution model helps you predict agent behavior and debug issues.
Execution Lifecycle
1
Parse
Natural language is converted to structured intent with identified actions, parameters, and conditions.
2
Plan
Intent is broken into atomic steps with dependencies, permission requirements, and risk assessment.
3
Validate
Permissions are checked, limits are verified, and the plan is validated before any execution.
4
Execute
Steps run in order, with results passed between dependent steps. Errors trigger retry or abort.
5
Log
Every action, decision, and result is recorded in the immutable audit log.
Error Handling
The agent handles errors gracefully:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Retry | automatic | Required | Transient errors retry with exponential backoff |
Fallback | optional | Optional | Alternative actions when primary fails |
Abort | automatic | Required | Unrecoverable errors stop execution safely |
Notify | configurable | Optional | Alert user on specified error types |
Transaction Safety
For blockchain transactions, the agent simulates before executing and monitors for confirmation. Failed transactions are reported immediately.
