Agentic loop

The agentic loop is the cycle an AI analytics agent runs to turn a question into a checked answer. It plans a query, runs it, reads the result, and either fixes the query and tries again or returns the answer.

This loop is the line between an agent and a one-shot tool. A plain text to SQL feature writes a query and stops. An agent keeps going until the result makes sense, which is what makes the answer something you can act on.

Why it matters

A single query from a model is a guess. The loop turns the guess into a checked result, because the agent verifies its own work before it replies. See how agentic analytics works for the full sequence.
