Multi-Step Execution

Multi-step execution is an agent's ability to carry out a sequence of actions reliably, maintaining state and context across steps, handling errors gracefully, and producing a coherent final result. It sounds simple but is extremely hard in practice — each step can fail, produce unexpected results, or invalidate assumptions made in earlier steps. Robust multi-step execution requires checkpointing, rollback capabilities, and clear status reporting. It's the bridge between a single-turn chatbot and a useful autonomous agent.
