Agentic AI Explained: LLMs Use Tools in an Iterative Loop

Agentic AI systems leverage an "Agentic Loop" where Large Language Models (LLMs) can interact with external tools to retrieve information or perform actions. This process involves the LLM generating a response that may include a tool call, typically formatted as JSON. A system then detects these tool calls, executes the specified tool (e.g., a web search or a calculator), and feeds the result back to the LLM. This iterative loop allows the LLM to refine its answers by incorporating real-time data or computational results, moving beyond its static knowledge base. Examples of such systems include closed-source platforms like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, as well as open-source alternatives like Opencode and Kilocode. AI
