AI agents
An AI agent is a system that uses a model to choose and execute actions toward a goal within defined tools, context, constraints, and oversight.
Why this capability matters
Agents can help with multi-step work, but they add uncertainty and require stronger evaluation, permissions, monitoring, and escalation design.
What competent practice includes
Agent use-case selection
Tool and memory design
State, orchestration, and approvals
Evaluation and guardrails
Production monitoring
Portfolio evidence
A tool-using agent with a clear architecture, bounded permissions, evaluation set, decision log, and human override.
