Execution: The process of carrying out each step in a plan, using available tools and resources to accomplish the intended goal.
Sequential Execution: Performing plan steps one after another in order, where each step can build on the results of previous steps.
Retry Logic: A strategy for handling failures by attempting a failed operation multiple times before giving up or trying an alternative approach.
Graceful Degradation: The ability of a system to continue operating in a limited capacity when parts of it fail, rather than crashing completely.
Re-planning: The process of creating a new plan when execution reveals that the original plan won't work or needs significant adjustment.
Feedback Loop: A cycle where the results of actions inform future decisions, allowing the agent to learn and adapt during execution.
Context Propagation: Passing the results and information from earlier steps to later steps so the agent maintains awareness of what has happened so far.
