# Agents

Agents are the core building block of Aeontel. An agent combines a set of **instructions**, a **language model**, and one or more **tools** into an autonomous unit that can reason and act. When given a prompt, the agent reasons with its LLM, decides which tools to invoke, executes them, and returns structured output.

Each agent has a unique ID with the `agt_` prefix. Agents can be run independently, composed into swarms for multi-agent delegation, or wired into workflows for multi-step pipelines.

Detailed documentation is coming soon. In the meantime, explore the [API Reference](/api) or the [platform](https://platform.aeontel.com) directly.
