17. Running a Fault-Injection Exercise for an Agent
Inject tool timeouts, corrupted results, and process crashes to test an Agent's retries, state recovery, and side-effect boundaries.
16. Building an Agent Regression Suite Before Release
Turn production failures, permission boundaries, and tool faults into repeatable tests that reveal behavioral regressions after an Agent change.
09. Agent Permission Is More Than Allow or Deny
Modeling authorization across principal, action, resource, condition, and lifetime so read access does not expand into execution or network access.
07. Are Parallel Tool Calls Actually Faster?
Comparing serial execution, tool-level parallelism, and command merging across latency, authorization, and partial failure.
12. Context, Summaries, and Long-Term Memory Are Different
Separating model-visible context, lossy session summaries, and retrieved cross-session memory through provenance, scope, and expiration.
15. Evaluating an Agent Beyond Its Final Answer
Building regression evaluation across result correctness, constraint compliance, process efficiency, and recoverability.
01. How System Prompts Are Assembled
A packet-level comparison of four AI coding CLIs, showing how platform rules, project configuration, environment data, conversation state, and the current task …
06. How Tool Results Should Return to the Model
Comparing complete delivery, truncation, structured summaries, and external references for model evidence and context control.
04. How Tool Schemas Change Agent Behavior
How tool names, descriptions, argument constraints, and result contracts shape model action and runtime enforcement.
10. Preventing Duplicate Side Effects
Using idempotency keys, request fingerprints, external status queries, and recovery states for the crash window after an action.
