🧬 The Five-Layer Agent Stack

Most frameworks hand you one or two layers and leave the rest as homework. PraisonAI covers all five — plus the outer layer that decides where your agent actually runs.

Each layer wraps the one inside it. When an agent misbehaves, the layer tells you where to look.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⬡ MANAGED AGENTS — Where does it actually run?                  │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ 5 · GRAPH — Who runs when, and who checks whom?             │ │
│ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │
│ │ │ 4 · LOOP — When do we stop?                             │ │ │
│ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ 3 · HARNESS — Can it act, and be checked?           │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ 2 · CONTEXT — Is the right thing in the window? │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ 1 · PROMPT — Did I say it clearly?          │ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │
│ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Layer	The question it answers	PraisonAI
1 · Prompt	Did I say it clearly?	instructions=, role/goal/backstory, output=, templates=
2 · Context	Is the right thing in the window?	memory=, knowledge=, context=, handoff ContextPolicy
3 · Harness	Can it act, and be checked?	tools=, MCP(), guardrails=, approval=, hooks=, sandbox=
4 · Loop	When do we stop?	execution=ExecutionConfig(...), reflection=, autonomy=, doom-loop detection
5 · Graph	Who runs when, and who checks whom?	AgentFlow, route(), parallel(), loop(), repeat()
⬡ Managed	Where does it actually run?	run_on="docker" — one shared remote sandbox, or a fully hosted loop

Layer 1 · Prompt — Did I say it clearly?

Role, instructions, examples, output format.

from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(
    role="Senior Data Analyst",
    goal="Turn raw numbers into decisions",
    output="verbose",              # markdown-formatted output
)
agent.start("Summarise Q3 revenue trends")

Layer 2 · Context — Is the right thing in the window?

Write, select, compress, isolate — the four context operations, one parameter each.

from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a support engineer.",
    memory={"user_id": "u-42"},    # write    — persists across runs (needs a user_id)
    knowledge=["docs/"],           # select   — retrieves only what's relevant
    context="summarize",           # compress — auto-compacts before the limit
)

Isolate is handoffs=[specialist] — a sub-agent inherits the last few messages and the intersection of your tools, not your whole transcript. 📖 Handoffs

Layer 3 · Harness — Can it act, and be checked?

Agent = Model + Harness. Tool dispatch, plus the guides that steer before acting and the sensors that observe after.

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP, tool

@tool
def deploy(env: str) -> str:
    """Deploy the current build to an environment."""
    return f"Deployed to {env}"

agent = Agent(
    name="ReleaseEngineer",
    instructions="You are a release engineer.",
    tools=[deploy, MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp")],
    approval=True,                 # guide — human gate before risky tools run
)
agent.start("Deploy to staging, then list the files you can read")

Layer 4 · Loop — When do we stop?

Hard iteration caps, budget ceilings, no-progress detection and completion checks — every brake is explicit.

from praisonaiagents import Agent, ExecutionConfig

agent = Agent(
    instructions="Fix the failing tests.",
    execution=ExecutionConfig(max_iter=30, max_budget=0.50, on_budget_exceeded="stop"),
    reflection=True,               # completion check — the agent grades its own answer
    autonomy=True,                 # required to drive the loop with run_autonomous()
)
result = agent.run_autonomous("Refactor the auth module", max_iterations=5)

print(result.completion_reason)
# goal | no_tool_calls | max_iterations | timeout | doom_loop | needs_help | error
# (with on_budget_exceeded="stop", hitting the cap raises BudgetExceededError,
#  surfaced here as completion_reason="error")

Doom-loop detection is on by default. Repeated identical tool calls and A→B→A→B oscillation get caught — while a poller whose output keeps changing does not. 📖 Doom Loop Detection

Layer 5 · Graph — Who runs when, and who checks whom?

Topology as a versionable artifact: prompt chaining, routing, parallelisation, orchestrator-worker.

from praisonaiagents import AgentFlow
from praisonaiagents.workflows import route, parallel, repeat

flow = AgentFlow(steps=[
    classifier,
    route({"bug": [bug_agent], "feature": [feature_agent], "default": [triage]}),
    parallel([reviewer, tester]),                      # fan out, join automatically
    repeat(editor, until=lambda ctx: "approved" in ctx.previous_result.lower(),
           max_iterations=3),                          # evaluator–optimizer
])
flow.run("Ticket #123: login fails on Safari")

The same graph is expressible in YAML with no Python at all. 📖 AgentFlow

⬡ Outside the stack: Managed Agents — Where does it actually run?

The harness is commoditising; where the agent executes is the next multiplier. Rather than burning your laptop's CPU, hand an agent a short-lived cloud sandbox — repo, tools and tests run there.

pip install praisonai

The simplest way in is run_on= — one whole team or workflow shares one sandbox, so a file written by step 1 is there for step 2:

from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentFlow

writer = Agent(name="Writer", instructions="You write files.")
reader = Agent(name="Reader", instructions="You read files.")

flow = AgentFlow(run_on="docker", steps=[writer, reader])   # or e2b | modal | daytona | flyio
flow.run("Write 'hello' to /workspace/note.txt, then read it back")

Same thing with no Python at all:

name: remote-demo
run_on: docker            # every step shares one sandbox
agents:
  writer: {role: Writer, goal: Write files}
  reader: {role: Reader, goal: Read files}
steps:
  - agent: writer
    action: "Write 'hello' to /workspace/note.txt"
  - agent: reader
    action: "Read /workspace/note.txt"

For a single agent, pick the axis you need — remote tools or a remote loop:

from praisonai import Agent, LocalAgent, LocalAgentConfig, HostedAgent

# A. Tools run in a remote sandbox; the agent loop stays local
agent = Agent(name="builder", backend=LocalAgent(
    compute="e2b",                     # or modal | daytona | flyio | docker | tenki
    config=LocalAgentConfig(model="gpt-4o-mini", name="RemoteTools"),
))

# B. The entire agent loop runs in the cloud (needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
agent = Agent(name="teacher", backend=HostedAgent(provider="anthropic"))
agent.start("Write a Python script that prints the first 10 primes, then run it")

See what is running and reclaim strays:

praisonai managed ps          # list running sandboxes
praisonai managed stop --all  # reclaim them

Sandboxes shut themselves down when idle (auto_shutdown, idle_timeout_s), and a post-setup snapshot is reused so the next run skips the image pull and dependency install. Commit a .praisonai/environment.yaml and the environment travels with the repo.

    """Safely evaluate a numeric arithmetic expression."""
    import ast
    import operator
    
    # Define allowed operations
    _OPS = {
        ast.Add: operator.add,
        ast.Sub: operator.sub,
        ast.Mult: operator.mul,
        ast.Div: operator.truediv,
        ast.Pow: operator.pow,
        ast.USub: operator.neg,
        ast.UAdd: operator.pos,
    }
    
    def _safe_eval(node):
        if isinstance(node, ast.Constant) and isinstance(node.value, (int, float)):
            return node.value
        elif isinstance(node, ast.BinOp) and type(node.op) in _OPS:
            return _OPS[type(node.op)](_safe_eval(node.left), _safe_eval(node.right))
        elif isinstance(node, ast.UnaryOp) and type(node.op) in _OPS:
            return _OPS[type(node.op)](_safe_eval(node.operand))
        else:
            raise ValueError("Unsupported expression")
    
    try:
        return _safe_eval(ast.parse(expression, mode="eval").body)
    except (ValueError, SyntaxError, TypeError, ZeroDivisionError, OverflowError):
        raise ValueError("Invalid arithmetic expression")

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
    tools=[search, calculate]
)
agent.start("Search for AI news and calculate 15*4")

⚠️ Security Note: Never use eval(), exec(), or subprocess in tool functions that process LLM-generated or user-supplied input. Always validate and sanitize inputs to prevent code injection attacks. 📖 Full tools docs — BaseTool, tool packages, 100+ built-in tools

📄 Using YAML (No Code)

Example 1: Two Agents Working Together

Create agents.yaml:

framework: praisonai
topic: "Write a blog post about AI"

agents:
  researcher:
    role: Research Analyst
    goal: Research AI trends and gather information
    instructions: "Find accurate information about AI trends"
    
  writer:
    role: Content Writer
    goal: Write engaging blog posts
    instructions: "Write clear, engaging content based on research"

Run with:

praisonai agents.yaml

The agents automatically work together sequentially

Example 2: Agent with Custom Tool

Create two files in the same folder:

agents.yaml:

framework: praisonai
topic: "Calculate the sum of 25 and 15"

agents:
  calculator_agent:
    role: Calculator
    goal: Perform calculations
    instructions: "Use the add_numbers tool to help with calculations"
    tools:
      - add_numbers

tools.py:

def add_numbers(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    """
    Add two numbers together.
    
    Args:
        a: First number
        b: Second number
    
    Returns:
        The sum of a and b
    """
    return a + b

Run with:

praisonai agents.yaml

💡 Tips:

• Use the function name (e.g., add_numbers) in the tools list, not the file name
• Tools in tools.py are automatically discovered
• The function's docstring helps the AI understand how to use it
