Good split. People underestimate the harness: same model, different tool descriptions and stop rules, and you get a very different agent. Will a later chapter cover when the agent decides it's done?

Yes. Have a look at chapter 5 in the planned ToC www.thepythoncodingstack.com/p/agents-unp...

In Chapter 1, Monty and I discussed the difference between a chatbot and an agent. In this chapter, we start to drill further on the parts that make the whole when we say "agent" www.thepythoncodingstack.com/p/2-who-actu...

Let me know what you think of these first two chapters so far, especially if you're new-ish to the concept of agents… Here's the link to Chapter 2, where Monty and I discuss the distinction between the model, the harness, the tools, and you, the user: www.thepythoncodingstack.com/p/2-who-actu...
