In the research workflow example, what if the first set of search queries don’t return good results. If the LLM tool loop decides to refine the queries, would this be “agency”?

[NitpickLawyer]

I'd say so, yeah. If the LLM "decides" what steps to take, that's an agent. If the flow is "hardcoded" then it's a workflow/pipeline. It often gets confused because early frameworks called these workflows/pipelines "agents".

I see, that's a good way to think about it
