Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mastering Context Engineering for Multi-Agent AI HandbookWhat happens when an AI agent has a powerful model but receives the wrong information? What if its memory is outdated, retrieved knowledge is irrelevant, instructions conflict, or multiple agents struggle to coordinate?How do you build AI agents that know what information to use, what actions they are allowed to take, and when they should ask for help?Mastering Context Engineering for Multi-Agent AI Handbook provides a practical guide to designing, securing, testing, scaling, and operating modern multi-agent AI systems.You will learn how context goes far beyond a simple prompt. Explore how instructions, task information, runtime state, memory, retrieved knowledge, tool results, policies, identity, and workflow data can be assembled into useful context at the right time.How should specialized agents communicate? How can shared context remain reliable? How do you prevent irrelevant or untrusted information from influencing an agent? How can memory and retrieval improve performance without introducing new risks?This handbook covers: - Context architecture and instruction hierarchies- Reliable AI agent and multi-agent system design- Agent communication, delegation, and coordination- Memory engineering and retrieval-augmented generation- Context windows, compression, token optimization, and caching- Tool calling, permissions, validation, and safe execution- Model Context Protocol and AI interoperability- Prompt injection, context security, and data protection- Identity, authorization, least privilege, and access control- Governance, privacy, compliance, and auditability- Testing, evaluation, regression, and adversarial testing- Reliability, drift detection, observability, and debugging- Workflow orchestration, checkpoints, retries, and human approval- Scalability, performance, concurrency, and cost engineering- Production deployment, monitoring, rollback, and lifecycle managementWhat happens when a long-running agent workflow fails halfway through? Can it recover safely? What if a tool times out, a retrieved document is outdated, or one agent passes incorrect information to another?You will learn practical engineering approaches for handling these challenges while balancing reliability, security, performance, and cost.Whether you are learning about AI agents for the first time or developing more advanced agentic applications, this book helps you understand how context, memory, retrieval, tools, permissions, workflows, and multiple agents fit together.Move beyond basic prompt engineering and develop a stronger engineering approach to multi-agent AI.Get your copy of Mastering Context Engineering for Multi-Agent AI Handbook today and start building a deeper understanding of reliable, secure, and production-ready AI agent systems.
