# Praxis: Agent framework

Act line / Stop 02. An agent framework that connects AI reasoning with your data, tools and workflows.

Praxis is the agent framework in VectorMind. Agents plan, call tools, validate their output and log every step, and pause for a person's approval where a step needs it.

## What It Does

- **Plan**: Understands the request and turns natural language into intent.
- **Execute**: Retrieves structured data and calls tools: databases, files, web search, ticketing and internal APIs.
- **Validate**: Checks results with deterministic rules and model-based QA, then returns a structured answer downstream systems can use.
- **Reusable Skills**: Agents are assembled from reusable skills, prototyped quickly, then hardened with guardrails, tests and traceability before they go live.

## Control and Audit

- **Guardrails**: Agents are hardened with guardrails and tests before they go live, and return structured responses so downstream systems don't have to guess.
- **Where a person decides**: If a step needs approval, the agent pauses, captures the decision and continues with full context.
- **What gets logged**: Every agent step is logged, with tool inputs and outputs.
