These agent approaches should really incorporate the recent neurology research around predictive processing appearing to be a three tiered process of "long term prediction," "intermediate prediction," and "short term prediction." What I've seen is very heavily weighted towards chain of thought using the latter to satisfy the former, but explicitly stepping down from broad to intermediate to narrow (and re-evaluating as it goes) will probably work even better.
