Frequently Asked Questions
What is an autonomous AI agent in software engineering?
An AI agent is a software system powered by a large language model that perceives environment state, plans multi-step execution paths, calls external tools and APIs, and iterates based on execution feedback to achieve a defined objective autonomously.
How do AI agents connect securely to internal APIs and databases?
Secure agent integration requires scoped OAuth2/API token boundaries, strict schema validation (such as JSON Schema or Pydantic), principle of least privilege, idempotency keys on write operations, and human-in-the-loop confirmation gates for destructive actions.
What is the difference between RAG and AI agent tool calling?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is read-only information retrieval that enriches LLM prompts with external semantic documents. Tool calling enables an agent to take active, deterministic state-changing actions via APIs, functions, or database transactions.
