LightAgent adds LightFlow to manage agent workflows
LightAgent v0.8.0 adds LightFlow, a way to organize multi-step work for AI agents. The project also supports action tracking, memory, and links to outside tools. Its adaptive tool filtering may help cut token use and lower running costs.
Key points
- LightFlow helps an AI agent run several work steps in a planned order.
- adaptive tool filtering shows the agent only the tools it likely needs, which can reduce token use.
- MCP support can make it easier to connect the agent to outside tools and services.
- Because it is open-source, teams can inspect it and test it before using it.
