Function-Triggering Agent
Emits structured outputs that trigger predefined external functions.
What the Function-Triggering Agent Does
The Function-Triggering Agent emits structured outputs that trigger predefined external functions. It produces the exact payload a downstream system expects.
Why It Matters
It connects agent reasoning to reliable, predefined actions, so high-stakes steps run the same way every time.
