A disposable, isolated network environment with configured nodes and services is created, verified via command execution, and then cleaned up, allowing safe infrastructure testing without persistent resource costs.
The agent first uses the 'provision' tool to create a cluster with specific network topologies (LANs, WANs) and node configurations (OS, NICs). It then uses 'exec' to run commands on nodes to install software, configure services, or test connectivity. The agent evaluates the output to verify success. If verification fails, it iterates by adjusting commands or reprovisioning. Finally, it uses 'delete' to tear down the cluster, ensuring no persistent resources remain.

Prompt: Provision a testbed with one VyOS router and two Ubuntu nodes. Connect them in a topology where Ubuntu nodes are on separate LANs behind VyOS. Install Nginx on both Ubuntu nodes. Verify that Nginx is running and accessible from the VyOS node. Delete the cluster after verification.
