ReAct Loop Architecture Breakdown

User Goal: "Check current weather in Mumbai and calculate flight travel time from Delhi"
  │
  ├─► [THOUGHT 1]: Need to find Delhi to Mumbai distance and weather status.
  ├─► [ACTION 1]:  call_tool("get_weather", {"city": "Mumbai"})
  ├─► [OBSERVE 1]: {"temp": "31C", "condition": "Sunny"}
  │
  ├─► [THOUGHT 2]: Weather retrieved. Now calculating average flight duration.
  ├─► [ACTION 2]:  call_tool("flight_calculator", {"origin": "DEL", "dest": "BOM"})
  ├─► [OBSERVE 2]: {"duration_hours": 2.15, "distance_km": 1148}
  │
  └─► [FINAL ANSWER]: Flight time is ~2 hours 10 mins. Mumbai weather is sunny at 31°C.

By forcing explicit reasoning traces before invoking external APIs, the ReAct pattern prevents hallucinated tool calls and provides full debuggability into the agent's internal state.
