Production Tool Use: Reliability, Security, and Evaluation
AGAI 201 · Module 3
Prepare tool-using agents for real users and real systems. This module covers error handling, retries, prompt injection, permission boundaries, audit logs, and practical evaluation methods for tool-augmented agents.
Lessons in this module
Error Handling and Retries
Learn how to classify tool failures, design retry policies, return useful error messages, and help agents recover gracefully from broken workflows.
Security and Permissions for Tool-Using Agents
Understand prompt injection, excessive authority, unsafe tool execution, data leakage, and how to build permission boundaries around tool-using agents.
Evaluating Tool-Augmented Agents
Learn how to measure whether a tool-using agent selects the right tools, passes valid arguments, handles errors, completes tasks, and stays within policy.
