  Building Tool-Using Agents That Work Reliably

  Tool-use reliability is a systems property: tool design, a guarded control loop, permission gates, and pass^k evals on verifiable end states.

• Part 11Agents & Tool Use

  Detecting and Recovering from Agent Loops

  Classify why an agent loops, add harness guardrails and better tool feedback, and recover with an escalation ladder you can measure.

• Part 13Agents & Tool Use

  Guaranteeing Valid JSON Output from LLMs

  Enforce JSON Schema at decode time, design schemas that keep quality high, and add validation, repair and truncation handling on top.

• Part 15Evaluation & Reliability

  Building an Eval Suite for a Customer Support Bot

  Build support-bot evals from real failures: layered offline tests, calibrated judges, statistically sound release gates and a production flywheel.

• Part 17Security & Privacy

  Defending Tool-Using Agents Against Prompt Injection by Design

  Why model-level filters can't stop prompt injection, and how control/data separation, taint tracking and sink policies make attacks harmless.

• Part 23Production Engineering

  Tracing Every Step of a Multi-Agent Workflow

  Model multi-agent runs as one OpenTelemetry trace: GenAI span conventions, context propagation across queues, private content storage and tail sampling.
