Agentic AI

Agentic AI describes AI systems that can plan steps or use tools to pursue a task with some degree of autonomy.

Why it matters

An agent may interact with models, tools, and business applications during a task. Those actions create a need for clear identity, boundaries, and human review.

How it works

An agent can use a model to interpret a goal, select an available tool, and continue through a configured workflow. The level of autonomy depends on its design and permissions.

How Halo approaches it

Halo Agents combine model choice, app connections, policy, approvals, and budgets. Halo gateways and the secure agent runtime apply controls to supported agent traffic and actions.
