A Chain is a pre-orchestrated fixed pipeline whose execution path is determined when the code is written; an Agent, by contrast, leaves what to do next to the model itself to decide, with the model outputting tool call requests based on the goal and the list of available tools, and after the framework executes them it feeds the results back, looping repeatedly until the task is complete.

UnverifiedA Workflow's control flow is predetermined by code with a fixed execution path, whereas an Agent's every step is autonomously decided by an LLM, giving it dynamic planning capability71% similarUnverifiedHook middleware provides the ability to insert custom logic at key nodes in the Agent execution flow, allowing hooks to be attached before model invocation, after tool execution, during context assembly, and at other points, enabling functions such as logging, permission validation, content filtering, and performance monitoring.70% similarUnverifiedIn the context of Agent development, a hook is an event-driven interception mechanism that allows custom logic to be inserted before and after the Agent performs specific actions.69% similarUnverifiedDoubao Agent's Agent mode has task decomposition, multi-step execution, and tool-calling capabilities, enabling it to first read files, then generate copy, and finally output code, with the entire pipeline automatically connected.69% similar
