MCP Prompts Explained: Reusable Workflows for AI Applications
A practical guide to MCP prompts, including discovery, arguments, message content, user control, safety, and design patterns.
-
Designing Agent Fallbacks and Graceful Degradation
Keep an agent safely useful when models, tools, data, or specialists fail—without fabricating success or silently weakening controls.
-
Production Monitoring for AI Agents
Turn traces, metrics, logs, and evaluations into selected production signals, thresholds, dashboards, and actionable alerts.
-
Caching Strategies for AI Agent Systems
Reuse expensive results only when identity, freshness, authorization, and side-effect semantics make reuse safe.
-
Model Routing for AI Agents
Choose models by task requirements, policy, quality, latency, and cost instead of sending every step to one default.
-
Rate Limits and Backpressure in AI Agents
Control overload before immediate retries turn constrained models, tools, or workers into a failure storm.
-
Scaling AI Agent Systems
Grow workload capacity safely by separating stateless runtimes from durable tasks and protecting constrained dependencies.
-
Context and Token Cost Optimization
Build focused model context that preserves decision-relevant information while removing repeated and irrelevant tokens.
