Agent Harness Engineering
About the track
Most agent failures in production are from harness failures: the tools, permissions, loops, and validation around the model that nobody treats as a discipline yet.
This track is for the engineers running agents in production past the prototype, under real constraints like regulated data, legacy systems, and hard cost ceilings.
We’ll Cover:
- Tool permissions and sandboxes that survive regulated data
- Self-correction and feedback loops that catch errors before they reach users
- State and memory that stays under a cost and context-window ceiling
- Validation and evals that hold at production volume
- The agent loop itself: stopping conditions, retries, step and token budgets
Every talk comes from something the speaker built and measured, including the failure modes that forced a redesign. War stories and trade-offs. You’ll walk away with concrete harness patterns you can put into your own agents the same week.
