Deep Dive: Context Windows, Self-Correction Loops, and Tool API Orchestration

Deep Dive: Context Windows, Self-Correction Loops, and Tool API Orchestration

The core architecture of an autonomous task runner revolves around a stateful execution loop. The agent evaluates environmental state, generates a structured tool call payload, and waits for execution feedback.

Context window management is critical to long-horizon agent stability. Developers implement sliding window compaction and summarization passes to keep prompt tokens bounded while maintaining operational goal state.
