1Beyond the Model: Engineering the Agent RuntimeA capable model is only an engine. What makes an agent safe to act is the governed runtime built around it.Advanced 2Tool Orchestration and Capability-Scoped ExecutionTools give a model hands. Orchestration decides which hand moves, under whose identity, and how narrowly its reach is scoped.Advanced 3Context Assembly: Feeding Agents the Right EvidenceAn agent is only as good as what it is allowed to see. Context assembly decides what reaches the model, labeled by trust and fit to the budget.Advanced 4External Verification: Replacing Confidence with ProofA model can sound certain and be wrong. Dependable agents replace self-reported confidence with checks the model cannot fake.Advanced 5Trace-First Design: Making Every Action ReconstructableIf an agent can act, you must be able to replay exactly what it did and why. A trace is that evidence, designed in from the start.Advanced 6Self-Optimizing Harnesses: Searching the Harness, Not Just the PromptThe code around a model can be searched and improved automatically, not just hand-tuned one prompt at a time.Advanced
