Glossary¶
Every term the guide defines, with the one Portuguese form the Portuguese pages use for it. A term is defined once, in chapter 3, and every chapter that uses it means the same thing.

The words of the Bot Builder¶
Part I uses everyday words for what the agent does, each with one meaning throughout:
- Agent: what you declare in
agent.yamlor withAgent(...): its tools, its model, its rules, and the agents it may hand a conversation to (chapter 30). - Tool: a function, an MCP server's tool or an OpenAPI operation the agent may call, with the words that say what it does (chapter 30).
- Turn: one message from a person, and everything the agent does in answer to it.
- Run: what the agent does from a turn to its reply: each tool call, and each undo where it fails (chapter 34).
- Confirmation: a call that waits for a person's yes, showing each argument and where its value came from (chapter 35).
- Undo: the tool that reverses another's write, declared with
undo=(chapter 34). - Hand-off: one agent passing the conversation to another it names (chapter 30).
- The selector: the part of the Bot Builder that reads each turn and chooses the tool by a named rule, with no model call (chapter 20).
- The tool check: what every call is checked against before it runs (chapter 32).
- Finding: something the bug hunter found, with the rule it breaks, where, a reproduction and a fix (chapter 28).
- Witness: the run, step by step, that shows a finding happening (chapter 31).
