## GitHub Issue: Agent Rewritten from Tool Proxy to Reasoning Orchestrator with Think/Plan/Execute Loop
A core architectural shift is underway for an AI agent, moving it from a simple tool-calling proxy to a sophisticated reasoning orchestrator. The change rewrites the central `AGENT_INSTRUCTION` prompt to enforce a structured **Think/Plan/Execute** loop. This forces the underlying LLM to decompose complex user requests into multi-step tool chains before executing any single action, fundamentally altering its operational logic from reactive to strategic.

The modification is designed to address a critical limitation: the previous agent acted as a thin wrapper, attempting to map broad queries like 'are my systems safe?' to a single tool call. The new orchestrator pattern, demonstrated through few-shot examples for CVE remediation, infrastructure health checks, and upgrade readiness, teaches the system to chain tools for vulnerability scanning, inventory cross-referencing, and risk synthesis. Alongside this reasoning upgrade, the commit adds new guardrails for scope enforcement, prompt injection resistance, write-operation confirmation, and data integrity.

This rewrite is framed as a 'minimal-risk, maximum-leverage' change, focusing entirely on prompt engineering within `core/agent.py` rather than a full codebase overhaul. It signals a deliberate pivot towards building agents capable of autonomous, multi-step workflow execution and complex problem decomposition, which is a foundational step for more reliable and powerful AI-assisted operations.
