This session explains why agent systems fail beyond POCs and why orchestration is the missing layer. We introduce agentic workflows as a way to combine flexible agent reasoning with deterministic control flow, retries, observability, and governance.

A core focus is the Model Context Protocol and how MCP changes agent integration. Instead of fragile glue code, MCP provides a standard way for agents to interact with tools and services. We will explore how MCP gateways can expose existing APIs and internal services as MCP tools, making them accessible with built in constraints.
