AI Agents in Action, Second Edition Intelligent workflows with LLMs, MCP, A2A, and more (Micheal Lanham)（Z-Library）

"Great contents, broad coverage, fun exercises. This book has it all.” —Saurabh Sawant, Microsoft AI Agents in Action, Second Edition is a substantial revision and update of the first edition. It is a practical and comprehensive guide to building AI agents—not just understanding what they are, but designing, implementing, evaluating, and deploying them. Its strength is in the way it combines conceptual clarity with working code examples, so readers build progressively rather than absorb isolated ideas. The examples form a continuous learning path, moving from a minimal agent to more capable, tool-using, multi-agent, and deployable systems. Each step adds a new skill while reinforcing what came before. The book begins by giving readers a usable mental model for agent design. Its central organizing idea is the five functional layers: persona, actions and tools, reasoning and planning, knowledge and memory
