Agentic Systems Engineering (Paperback)

Paperback. This volume examines core technical approaches to building and operating reliable agentic AI systems in enterprise environments. It addresses the integration of policy enforcement mechanisms, execution tracing infrastructure, and systematic evaluation frameworks required to maintain control and visibility over autonomous tool-using agents at scale. Drawing from current production patterns in 2026, the content explores architectural decisions for embedding constraints, capturing detailed interaction histories, and implementing quantitative assessment methods that support ongoing reliability in deployed multi-agent workflows. Topics include runtime intervention strategies, observability pipelines tailored to non-deterministic behavior, and metrics-driven validation techniques suitable for professional engineering teams. Intended for experienced AI practitioners, machine learning engineers, and technical leads responsible for production AI deployments who already possess strong backgrounds in large language models and software architecture. The material assumes familiarity with agent frameworks and focuses on advanced implementation considerations rather than introductory concepts. If you manage or develop agentic systems that must operate safely and measurably in real-world settings, this reference provides structured technical guidance for strengthening operational controls.
