Let an agent investigate and act

You give a typed task an iterative runtime where the model can inspect evidence, call tools, and delegate. It still finishes through your declared output contract.

See the idea in context

auto helper = axllm::agent("question:string -> answer:string");
  1. Declare the whole task

    The signature keeps the request and final resolution typed.

  2. Provide allowed capabilities

    functions limits the tools the runtime may choose.

  3. Start one agent run

    forward() lets the agent inspect, act, and finish with a resolution.
