An agent is a control system with a model inside it. The model supplies judgment; the surrounding system supplies bounds, verification, permissions, and the ability to stop. Most production agent failures trace to that surrounding system rather than to the model's reasoning — which is why this book spends far more time on execution loops, tool schemas, and permission scoping than on prompting.
Fourteen chapters cover the full agentic stack:
• Agentic systems as software architectures: goals, state, policies, and loop design
• Planning and task decomposition: explicit task graphs, verifiable subgoals, bounded replanning
• Tool use and external actions: call boundaries, strict schemas, scoped permissions, untrusted results
• Memory and persistent state: working memory, durable facts, measured retrieval, bounded summarization
• Verification and self-checking: output validation, genuinely independent cross-checks, domain constraints
• Workflow reliability: classified retries, measured timeouts, idempotent writes, designed recovery
• Human oversight and escalation: meaningful approval gates, checkable exception criteria, informative handoffs
• Security and permission boundaries: phase-scoped privilege, tool-layer credentials, sandboxing, audit logs
• Observability and evaluation: decision-level traces, outcome-based success, actionable failure taxonomies
• Cost and latency management: per-run attribution, per-step model selection, caching, latency budgets
• Multi-agent coordination: justified decomposition, message contracts, partitioned state, global termination
• Testing agentic systems: deterministic harnesses, adversarial inputs, failure-mode coverage
• Production agentic platforms: bundled deployment, model version pinning, layered cost limits
• Interaction and progress design: plan-derived progress, streaming, interruption, scope communication
Every section pairs the concept with the trade-off that makes it a real engineering decision, the pitfall teams most often hit, and a short set of practical checks. Each chapter closes with a worked scenario showing how these decisions interact under real pressure.
Five appendices cover architectural comparisons, a four-level agent maturity model, a failure-mode reference organized by symptom, adoption sequencing, and common questions.
Written for engineers building AI agents, copilots, and autonomous workflows in production.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
