APIs for Agents: Rethinking API Programs in the MCP Era

Jim Gough and Andreea Niculcea explain how Morgan Stanley uses Architecture as Code with CALM to modernize its API program. They demonstrate integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communications, enforcing automated governance through deployment gates, and executing zero-downtime platform upgrades to safely scale enterprise AI and agentic workflows.

The Agent Harness: Control Planes, Invariants, and Approval Boundaries for Production AI Agents

OpenAI’s Vinoth Govindarajan discusses why production AI agents fail beyond model hallucination. Using real-world case studies like OpenClaw, he explains the key principles of reliable agent harnesses: establishing explicit state ownership, serializing concurrent state mutations, scoping execution authority, and validating actions at the user-visible edge.

Securing AI Agents: Identity, Authorization, and the DPACT Framework

In this episode, Sahil Agarwal talks about the critical challenges of identity, authorisation, and security in the age of AI agents. Sahil introduces the DPACT framework (Delegation, Policy, Auditability, Context, and Time) as a blueprint for building responsible, guardrailed agentic systems, moving away from simple token-based access toward bounded, delegated authority.
