When NOT to use lagent
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using lagent if your project necessitates integration with a broader set of tools that are not natively supported by this framework, as it offers limited out-of-the-box extensibility.
- Steer clear if you need robust scalability features right from the start. While lightweight, lagent may require additional custom work to handle more demanding scaling requirements.
