Add controlled logic around your agent so you can inspect, modify, or control what happens during execution.
Middleware gives you a place to add custom behavior around an agent's execution. Instead of putting every rule directly into the agent or tool, middleware can intercept parts of the workflow and perform tasks such as logging, validation, filtering, retries, or custom control logic.
This becomes especially useful in production systems where you need more control than a simple agent loop provides. Middleware can help keep cross-cutting behavior separate from the core business logic.
