Executor
The agent component that carries out planned actions by invoking tools, APIs, or workflows.
Why it matters
Planning without execution is just thinking. The executor actually does things — making changes, calling APIs, producing results.
In practice
In our architecture, the planner decides what to do and the executor handles the n8n webhook calls, database updates, and API integrations.
