AI Agent Design
Core Principles
1. Agents Are Tools, Not Teammates
An AI agent is a system that uses an LLM to reason and take actions. It is not a person — it has no goals, desires, or understanding. Design agents as tools with clear boundaries, not as autonomous collaborators.
2. Autonomy is a Spectrum
Full autonomy is rarely the goal. The best agents operate on a spectrum: more human oversight for critical actions, more autonomy for routine tasks. Design for the level of autonomy that matches the risk.
3. Cache Everything, Guess Nothing
Agents have no memory between calls unless you design it. Every interaction, tool result, and decision must be explicitly stored and retrieved. Assume the agent remembers nothing unless you program it to.
4. Fail Predictably
Every agent will fail. The question is how it fails. Design for graceful degradation: when uncertain, ask for help. When stuck, escalate. When broken, stop safely.
5. Safety First, Speed Second
A fast agent that takes unauthorized actions is worse than a slow agent that double-checks. Build guardrails before building features.
Agent Maturity Model
| Level | Name | Characteristics | Tool Use | Memory | Autonomy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Reactive | Single-turn, no context retention, deterministic responses | None or hardcoded | None | None |
| L2 | Scripted | Pre-defined workflows, conditional branching, template-based | Basic function calls with fixed signatures | Session-only (ephemeral) | Low — requires human confirmation |
| L3 | Tool-Using | Dynamic tool selection, structured function calling, error handling | Multiple tools, runtime discovery | Short-term (conversation history) | Medium — executes routine tasks autonomously |
| L4 | Memory-Augmented | Long-term memory, learns from past interactions, personalization | Complex tools with parameter binding | Long-term + episodic (vector stores, databases) | High — manages complex workflows |
| L5 | Autonomous Orchestrator | Multi-agent coordination, dynamic planning, self-correction, meta-cognition | Tool composition, tool creation, delegation | Semantic + episodic (knowledge graphs, RAG) | Full — handles novel situations independently |
Progression Path
- L1 → L2: Add conditional logic and basic state tracking
- L2 → L3: Implement tool schemas and function calling
- L3 → L4: Integrate persistent storage and retrieval mechanisms
- L4 → L5: Add planning, sub-agent delegation, and self-evaluation
Tool Definition Patterns
Function Calling / Tool Use
Modern LLMs support "function calling" — the model outputs a structured request to invoke a tool, and the runtime executes it and returns the result.
Tool Schema Pattern (OpenAI-style)
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "search_knowledge_base",
"description": "Search the internal knowledge base for relevant documents",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The search query string"
},
"max_results": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "Maximum number of results to return (1-20)",
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 20
},
"filter_by_date": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Optional date filter in ISO 8601 format"
}
},
"required": ["query"]
}
}
}
Tool Definition Best Practices
- Descriptions are critical: The model reads tool descriptions to decide what to call. Be explicit about when to use each tool.
- Validate parameters: Use JSON Schema constraints (minimum, maximum, enum, pattern) to prevent invalid calls.
- Return structured data: Tool results should return structured data (JSON) so the model can reason about them.
- Include error information: If a tool fails, return a clear error message the model can act on.
Tool Implementation Pattern (Python)
from typing import Any
import json
class AgentTool:
"""Base class for agent tools."""
def __init__(self, name: str, description: str):
self.name = name
self.description = description
def get_schema(self) -> dict:
"""Return the function calling schema for this tool."""
raise NotImplementedError
async def execute(self, **kwargs) -> Any:
"""Execute the tool with validated parameters."""
raise NotImplementedError
class SearchTool(AgentTool):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(
name="search",
description="Search documents by query string"
)
def get_schema(self):
return {
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": self.name,
"description": self.description,
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {"type": "string"},
"limit": {"type": "integer", "default": 5}
},
"required": ["query"]
}
}
}
async def execute(self, query: str, limit: int = 5):
# Implementation
results = await database.search(query, limit=limit)
return json.dumps({"results": results, "count": len(results)})
Tool Categories
| Category | Examples | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Retrieval | Search, SQL query, vector search | Agent needs external information |
| Computation | Calculator, code interpreter, stats | Agent needs to compute or analyze |
| Action | Email send, API call, file write | Agent needs to affect the world |
| Communication | Slack message, notification | Agent needs to inform humans |
| Validation | Spell check, safety check, lint | Agent needs to verify its work |
Memory Systems
Why Memory Matters
Without memory, every agent interaction is a fresh start. Memory enables personalization, continuity, and learning.
Memory Types
Short-Term Memory (STM)
- What: The current conversation or session context
- Storage: In-context (within the LLM's context window)
- Duration: Single session
- Capacity: Limited by context window (8K-200K tokens)
- Implementation: Conversation history as a list of messages
class ShortTermMemory:
"""In-memory conversation buffer."""
def __init__(self, max_tokens: int = 8000):
self.messages = []
self.max_tokens = max_tokens
def add(self, role: str, content: str):
self.messages.append({"role": role, "content": content})
self._trim()
def _trim(self):
"""Remove oldest messages when over capacity."""
total = sum(len(m["content"]) for m in self.messages)
while total > self.max_tokens and len(self.messages) > 1:
removed = self.messages.pop(0)
total -= len(removed["content"])
def get_context(self) -> list:
return self.messages
Long-Term Memory (LTM)
- What: Facts, preferences, knowledge from past sessions
- Storage: Vector databases, relational databases, key-value stores
- Duration: Permanent (until deleted)
- Capacity: Virtually unlimited
- Implementation: Embedding + retrieval
import chromadb
class LongTermMemory:
"""Persistent memory using vector storage."""
def __init__(self, collection_name: str = "agent_memory"):
self.client = chromadb.Client()
self.collection = self.client.get_or_create_collection(collection_name)
def store(self, content: str, metadata: dict = None):
"""Store a memory with embedding."""
self.collection.add(
documents=[content],
metadatas=[metadata or {}],
ids=[f"mem_{hash(content)}"]
)
def recall(self, query: str, n: int = 5) -> list:
"""Retrieve relevant memories."""
results = self.collection.query(
query_texts=[query],
n_results=n
)
return [
{"content": doc, "metadata": meta}
for doc, meta in zip(results["documents"][0], results["metadatas"][0])
]
Episodic Memory
- What: Record of past events, actions, and outcomes
- Storage: Time-series database or event log
- Duration: Configurable retention
- Use case: Learning from past mistakes, context for decision-making
class EpisodicMemory:
"""Records agent actions and outcomes for learning."""
def __init__(self):
self.episodes = []
def record(self, action: str, context: dict, outcome: str, success: bool):
self.episodes.append({
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
"action": action,
"context": context,
"outcome": outcome,
"success": success
})
def get_similar_episodes(self, action: str, n: int = 3) -> list:
"""Find similar past episodes to inform decisions."""
relevant = [e for e in self.episodes if e["action"] == action]
return sorted(relevant, key=lambda x: x["timestamp"], reverse=True)[:n]
Semantic Memory
- What: General knowledge, concepts, relationships
- Storage: Knowledge graphs, structured databases
- Duration: Persistent, updated over time
- Use case: Understanding domain concepts, entity relationships
Memory Retrieval Strategies
| Strategy | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Last-N | Keep the last N turns of conversation | Simple chatbots |
| Sliding Window | Keep most recent tokens up to a limit | General purpose |
| Summarization | Summarize older context to save tokens | Long conversations |
| RAG | Retrieve relevant context from vector store | Knowledge-heavy tasks |
| Hybrid | Combine multiple strategies | Production systems |
Agent Orchestration
Single-Agent Architecture
One agent handles everything: reasoning, tool selection, execution, and response.
[User] → [LLM + Tools + Memory] → [Response]
Pros: Simple, easy to debug, low latency Cons: Single point of failure, limited specialization, context window pressure
Multi-Agent Architecture
Multiple specialized agents collaborate on a task.
[Supervisor Agent]
/ | \
[Research] [Analysis] [Writing]
Agent Agent Agent
Pros: Specialization, parallel execution, modular design Cons: Coordination overhead, increased latency, harder to debug
Supervisor Pattern
One agent (supervisor) delegates tasks to worker agents and synthesizes results.
class SupervisorAgent:
"""Coordinates specialized worker agents."""
def __init__(self):
self.workers = {
"researcher": ResearchAgent(),
"analyst": AnalysisAgent(),
"writer": WritingAgent()
}
async def process(self, task: str) -> str:
# Step 1: Analyze the task
plan = await self._create_plan(task)
# Step 2: Delegate to workers
results = {}
for step in plan["steps"]:
worker = self.w
