Design Secure

AI agents are easy to demonstrate. Reliable agents are engineered. Generative AI agents can retrieve knowledge, call tools, coordinate workflows, and take action across real business systems. But once an agent moves beyond a controlled demonstration, probabilistic behavior, unsafe tool use, prompt injection, hidden state, rising costs, and silent failures become engineering problems—not merely prompting problems. Building Reliable Generative AI Agents gives developers, software architects, engineering leaders, and technical decision-makers a practical, framework-neutral blueprint for ...
