# escalation

<Badge color="blue">AI Agent</Badge>

Escalation Module for PraisonAI Agents.

Provides progressive escalation pipeline for auto-mode execution:

* Stage 0: Direct response (no tools, no planning)
* Stage 1: Heuristic tool usage (local signals, no extra LLM call)
* Stage 2: Lightweight plan (single LLM call, constrained)
* Stage 3: Full autonomous loop (tools + subagents + verification)

Zero Performance Impact:

* All imports are lazy loaded via **getattr**
* Escalation only triggered when signals indicate need
* No overhead for simple tasks

Usage:
from praisonaiagents.escalation import EscalationPipeline, EscalationStage

pipeline = EscalationPipeline()
stage = pipeline.analyze(prompt, context)
result = await pipeline.execute(prompt, stage)

## Import

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import escalation
```
