Day 2: Agent Tools & Interoperability

An agent that can only talk is not much more useful than a chatbot. What makes it capable is what it can reach: real APIs, real code execution, and, increasingly, other agents and tools it doesn't control directly. Today is about giving your agent hands, and doing it in a way that survives a rate limit, a crashed sandbox, or a tool that doesn't speak your framework's native format.

What you'll cover

• Calling APIs Reliably , errors, retries, and rate limits across Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI, without your pipeline falling over.
• Rate Limits & Backoff , the specific retry pattern that keeps a busy agent from getting itself throttled.
• Automating Workflows with Events , triggering agent work from something real happening, not a chat window.
• Running Agent Code Safely , a locked-down sandbox so agent-generated code can't take your machine down with it.
• Agent-to-Agent Communication , connecting an agent to tools and other agents it doesn't own, using the emerging standard for it.
