Agent Loop Cost

The compounding token cost of a tool-using agent. Each turn of the loop feeds the entire conversation history plus the tool result back into the model, so costs grow non-linearly with the number of steps. A five-step agent can cost fifteen to twenty times a single-prompt equivalent.

Agent Self-Verification

The pattern in which an agentic AI system runs its own pass of checks against its own output before it asks the operator to look.

Scheduled Task

A saved prompt paired with a cron-style or event trigger that lets a chatbot or terminal agent wake itself up, run a workflow, and surface the result without a human pressing send.
