Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Agent State Language extends the concepts of AWS Step Functions' Amazon States Language with **agent-native primitives** for:

- 🧠 **Memory & Context** - Persistent memory, sliding context windows
- 🔧 **Tool Orchestration** - Permissions, rate limits, sandboxing
- 👤 **Human-in-the-Loop** - Approval gates, feedback collection
- 💬 **Multi-Agent Communication** - Debates, delegation, consensus
- 💰 **Cost Management** - Token budgets, model fallbacks
- 🛡️ **Guardrails** - Input/output validation, content moderation
- 📊 **Observability** - Reasoning traces, execution logs
