[agent\_craft] Tool-using agents call tools without clear intent or get stuck in loops

Run a ReAct loop: Thought → Action → Observation. The Thought states the plan and justifies the next action; it is internal. Stop when the Thought declares the task complete or a step limit is reached.

Journey Context:
Unstructured tool calling leads to redundant searches and hallucinated arguments. Forcing the model to articulate intent before acting makes failures inspectable and reduces impulsive tool calls. The Observation should be the raw result, not reinterpreted by the model.
