Good Agent Systems Route Before They Reason
Why reliable agents need an explicit routing layer that chooses the right tool, memory source, and approval path before the planner starts improvising.

Your Agent Needs a Router Before It Needs More Tools
Most agent failures are routing failures. Better tool policy, bounded loops, and explicit safety checks beat handing the model a larger toolbox.
Planner, Router, Verifier: A Better Control Loop for Agentic AI
Reliable agents emerge when planning, tool routing, memory, and verification are treated as separate control surfaces instead of one giant chat loop.
Prompt Architecture for Agents: Separate Policy, Task, State, and Evidence
Reliable agents do not need one giant prompt. They need clean boundaries between policy, task, live state, and retrieved evidence.
Routing and Memory Contracts: A Practical Blueprint for Agentic AI That Doesn’t Drift
A production-focused pattern language for agent orchestration: deterministic routing, memory contracts, bounded autonomy, and trace-based eval loops.
Budget-Aware Tool Routing for Agentic AI: Fast Paths, Safe Paths, and Measurable Drift
A practical routing architecture for agents: classify intent, score risk, enforce budgets, and evaluate full traces so tool use gets faster without becoming fragile.
Agentic AI as a Control System: SLOs, Tool Routing, and Safe Recovery
Treat agents like production systems: define SLOs for trajectories, route tools by uncertainty, and recover with idempotent actions.
Agentic AI Tool Routing: Build a Policy-First Control Plane
A practical architecture for routing agent tool calls with policy gates, retrieval contracts, and eval loops that hold up in production.
Agentic AI Control Loops That Hold Up in Production
A practical architecture for routing tools, managing memory, and running eval loops so agents stay reliable under real load.
Policy Planes for Agentic AI: Routing, Memory, and Evals That Survive Contact with Reality
A practical architecture for agentic systems: separate planning, tool routing, and safety policy so you can scale capability without losing control.
