What you'll learn
Why context engineering is 80% agentic search
Understand how retrieval evolved from passive RAG pipelines to agents that build their own context with search tools
The search tool landscape
Understand which search tools exist, how they work, and their trade-offs
How to curate your agent's search tools
Practical considerations for adding more search tools
Why this topic matters
Context engineering is 80% agentic search. Agents aren’t the passive recipients of context anymore. Today, they build it themselves. And the most important tools they have to do that are their search tools
We'll cut through the current debate around filesystems, databases, and shell tools, and give you a practical framework for choosing the right search interface for your agent's actual needs.
