LoopWorkflow repeatedly executes an inner workflow until a stop condition is met.

Use in the following scenarios:

  • You need retry/refine loops,
  • You want iterative planning and execution.

How it works:

  • Runs the inner workflow,
  • Evaluates decideContinue(state, config),
  • If true, runs again; if false (or unset), stops.

buildEdges

protected Method
Signature
buildEdges (): GraphEdge<AgentGraphState<TState>>[]

Builds the workflow-specific edges.

buildNodes

inheritedprotected Method
Signature
buildNodes (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): GraphNodes<AgentGraphState<TState>>
Inherited from: BaseWorkflow

Builds the workflow's graph nodes.

Node ids use the agent id plus its position (agent.id_index) instead of only the raw agent id. That prevents collisions when the same agent instance is used multiple times.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
GraphNodes<AgentGraphState>

generate

Method
Signature
generate (): WorkflowGenerateResult<TState>

Generates the workflow's graph and shared workspace based on the defined agents and their schemas. This method is called by the WorkflowAgent when it generates its graph, and it orchestrates the creation of the workflow's structure, including validating the agents, deriving shared state from their schemas, and building the nodes and edges of the graph.

getAgents

Method
Signature
getAgents (): BaseAgentLike<TState>[]

A list of agents that are part of this workflow.

Returns
BaseAgentLike[]

getEntryNode

protected Method
Signature
getEntryNode (): string

Returns the id of the first node in the workflow graph.

Returns
string

isTerminalAgent

protected Method
Signature
isTerminalAgent (): boolean

Returns whether the agent at this position should expose terminal runtime fields.

Returns
boolean

validateAgents

inheritedprotected Method
Signature
validateAgents (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): void
Inherited from: BaseWorkflow

Validates the workflow configuration and throws if invalid.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
void

Type definitions

LoopDecider

Type definition
Type parameters
<TState extends AgentData = AgentData>

Loop continuation predicate. Return true to run another iteration.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
state

Current workflow graph state.

config

Optional execution configuration.

Returns
Promise<boolean> | boolean
