- A workflow is appropriate when processing stages and transitions are known in advance. Metadata extraction, classification, summarization, and persistence can be represented as deterministic nodes with explicit schemas, validation rules, retry policies, and failure handling. This provides predictable execution, cost, observability, and testability without paying for repeated model-driven planning. Anthropic's Building Effective AI Agents distinguishes workflows, where predefined code paths control execution, from agents, where the model dynamically determines its process. Option A reaches the correct pattern for an incorrect reason: workflows and agents can both invoke tools. Options B and C introduce unnecessary autonomy and make unsupported claims about consistency or universal accuracy.
