What is an agentic workflow?

An agentic workflow is a workflow where an AI agent participates in planning, decision-making, or tool use rather than only following a fixed script. The agent may inspect context, decide which tool to call, evaluate results, and choose the next step. This makes agentic workflows powerful, but also harder to operate because the path may vary from run to run. In production, teams need to wrap agentic behavior in durable execution, security policy, and observability. Diagrid Catalyst is positioned for that production wrapper, while the agent framework still handles reasoning.
