Agent framework

Software that handles the agent loop, tool registration, and orchestration, so you do not write it yourself.

also known as: agent runtime
In depth

Agent frameworks save you from re-implementing the loop, the tool registry, the cancellation logic, and the multi-agent dispatch.

The honest take is in the comparison piece linked below.
