Topic overview
Learn tools, routing, planning, memory, execution loops, validation, human handoff, logs, and evaluation.
Core concepts
Deterministic workflows, tool schemas, state machines, guardrails, retries, permissions, and task completion metrics.
Why it matters
Agents can automate richer workflows, but they add cost, latency, and reliability risk if unconstrained.
Interview relevance
Expect questions about when agents are useful, how to prevent tool misuse, and how to measure success.
