    /// Agents in an environment operate in *steps*. At each step, an agent collects observations,
    /// passes them to its decision-making policy, and receives an action vector in response.
    ///
    /// Agents make observations using <see cref="ISensor"/> implementations. The ML-Agents
    /// API provides implementations for visual observations (<see cref="CameraSensor"/>)
    /// raycast observations (<see cref="RayPerceptionSensor"/>), and arbitrary
    /// data observations (<see cref="VectorSensor"/>). You can add the
    /// <see cref="CameraSensorComponent"/> and <see cref="RayPerceptionSensorComponent2D"/> or
    /// <see cref="RayPerceptionSensorComponent3D"/> components to an agent's [GameObject] to use
    /// those sensor types. You can implement the <see cref="CollectObservations(VectorSensor)"/>
    /// function in your Agent subclass to use a vector observation. The Agent class calls this
    /// function before it uses the observation vector to make a decision. (If you only use
    /// visual or raycast observations, you do not need to implement
    /// <see cref="CollectObservations"/>.)
    ///
    /// Assign a decision making policy to an agent using a <see cref="BehaviorParameters"/>
    /// component attached to the agent's [GameObject]. The <see cref="BehaviorType"/> setting
    /// determines how decisions are made:
    ///
    /// * <see cref="BehaviorType.Default"/>: decisions are made by the external process,
    ///   when connected. Otherwise, decisions are made using inference. If no inference model
    ///   is specified in the BehaviorParameters component, then heuristic decision
    ///   making is used.
    /// * <see cref="BehaviorType.InferenceOnly"/>: decisions are always made using the trained
    ///   model specified in the <see cref="BehaviorParameters"/> component.
    /// * <see cref="BehaviorType.HeuristicOnly"/>: when a decision is needed, the agent's
    ///   <see cref="Heuristic(in ActionBuffers)"/> function is called. Your implementation is responsible for
    ///   providing the appropriate action.
    ///
    /// To trigger an agent decision automatically, you can attach a <see cref="DecisionRequester"/>
    /// component to the Agent game object. You can also call the agent's <see cref="RequestDecision"/>
    /// function manually. You only need to call <see cref="RequestDecision"/> when the agent is
    /// in a position to act upon the decision. In many cases, this will be every [FixedUpdate]
    /// callback, but could be less frequent. For example, an agent that hops around its environment
    /// can only take an action when it touches the ground, so several frames might elapse between
    /// one decision and the need for the next.
    ///
    /// Use the <see cref="OnActionReceived(ActionBuffers)"/> function to implement the actions your agent can take,
    /// such as moving to reach a goal or interacting with its environment.
    ///
    /// When you call <see cref="EndEpisode"/> on an agent or the agent reaches its <see cref="MaxStep"/> count,
    /// its current episode ends. You can reset the agent -- or remove it from the
    /// environment -- by implementing the <see cref="OnEpisodeBegin"/> function. An agent also
    /// becomes done when the <see cref="Academy"/> resets the environment, which only happens when
    /// the <see cref="Academy"/> receives a reset signal from an external process via the
    /// <see cref="Academy.Communicator"/>.
    ///
    /// The Agent class extends the Unity [MonoBehaviour] class. You can implement the
    /// standard [MonoBehaviour] functions as needed for your agent. Since an agent's
    /// observations and actions typically take place during the [FixedUpdate] phase, you should
    /// only use the [MonoBehaviour.Update] function for cosmetic purposes. If you override the [MonoBehaviour]
    /// methods, [OnEnable()] or [OnDisable()], always call the base Agent class implementations.
    ///
    /// You can implement the <see cref="Heuristic(in ActionBuffers)"/> function to specify agent actions using
    /// your own heuristic algorithm. Implementing a heuristic function can be useful
    /// for debugging. For example, you can use keyboard input to select agent actions in
    /// order to manually control an agent's behavior.
    ///
    /// Note that you can change the inference model assigned to an agent at any step
    /// by calling <see cref="SetModel"/>.
