  • Don’t assume all tasks will be completed as expected via the agent. It can make mistakes so design solution to mitigate it using clear instructions, guardrails and fallback mechanisms.
  • Be very clear with the requirement before you start building you agentic solution.
  • Whenever you need precise outputs—like calculations, scoring, or validations—rely on tools instead of the LLM. Let the agent focus on decision-making, not execution-heavy logic.
  • Leverage Context grounding. Providing the right context helps keep responses relevant and consistent.
  • For sensitive scenarios, make sure you implement proper guardrails and PII masking. This is critical for both safety and compliance.
  • Instead of building complex conditional logic for every edge case, design your agent to escalate when something is unclear. A well thought escalation mechanism can reduce unnecessary human-in-the-loop effort while still ensuring accuracy.
