Notes from contributing to Bloom — SC Ventures / Standard Chartered's policy-driven secure cloud provisioning platform. Push-to-deploy self-service for bank engineering teams, with the audit controls baked in.
Growing and shrinking the tool set from inside a running turn.
From inside a tool you can call ctx.add_tools and ctx.remove_tools to reveal or hide tools on the next loop iteration, plus tool_choice to force a mandatory first call.
How to publish an agent as a discoverable tool on a Model Context Protocol server so any MCP client can invoke it.
Wrap an agent with agenttool.New then register it with mcptool.AddTool to serve it over MCP on stdio, so any MCP client can discover and invoke it.
If you encode each SOC 2 control as a Terraform module, the audit becomes a check against module usage rather than a per-resource review. Notes from Bloom and adjacent projects.
How a plain Python function becomes a JSON schema the model can call.
The framework turns a function's signature and docstring into a schema. Annotated Field descriptions document each parameter, and @tool overrides the name and description.
How Go's constructor-over-an-interface idiom lets you inject a real Foundry agent into a service — and a fake into its test — through the same seam.
Inject a Foundry agent into a service through a two-method ChatAgent interface, so main injects the real agent and the test injects a fake through the same constructor.
Notes from integrating OpenTelemetry into airshipit, an open-source bare-metal Kubernetes lifecycle project with contributions from Ericsson, AT&T, Microsoft, and others. The hard part wasn't OTel; it was making distributed traces useful across foreign code.
Writing your own agent by subclassing BaseAgent — a drop-in for the built-in one.
Subclass BaseAgent and implement one run() method to satisfy SupportsAgentRun. A deterministic EchoAgent then behaves like any framework agent, no chat client required.
How to turn every agent run into an OpenTelemetry span with the SDK's otelprovider middleware.
Wire otelprovider.NewMiddleware into agent.Config.Middlewares to open a gen_ai span around every run, exported to whatever TracerProvider you register globally.
The azure-service-operator project lets you declare Azure resources as Kubernetes objects. Notes from the multi-vendor collaboration shape: how decisions got made, what slowed us down, what shipped despite it.
The two ways to reach a model in an Azure AI Foundry project.
Foundry offers two doors to a deployed model: FoundryChatClient where your app owns the loop, and FoundryAgent where the portal definition wins. This runs the direct path end to end.
How to teach an agent to load and persist conversation memory in your own store via a custom history provider.
Implement a custom agent.HistoryProvider with Provide and Store hooks so the agent loads and persists history in your store; DisableStoreOutput keeps it the single source of truth.
