Agentic systems on critical data.

How to design, build and run AI agent systems when the data is regulated, confidential or patient-related. Current as of August 2026 (the MCP 2026-07-28 spec, A2A v1.0, ADK 2.0 and the OWASP agentic Top 10), grounded in a pharma company as the running example.

What's inside

From protocol to worked example

  • Protocols: MCP and A2A

    What each one standardises, what the 2026-07-28 spec changes and where to draw the security boundaries.

  • Orchestration frameworks

    ADK 2.0, CAMEL and LangGraph, with criteria to choose without locking yourself in.

  • Reference architecture

    Layers, enforcement gateway, HITL gates, quarantine for untrusted content and per-task budgets.

  • Identity and least privilege

    Workload identity, short-lived tokens, per-tool permissions and egress control.

  • Execution environments

    Ephemeral sandboxes, gVisor and microVMs, typed tools instead of a shell, and where isolation stops protecting you.

  • Threat model

    The OWASP agentic Top 10 (ASI01 to ASI10) and MITRE ATLAS, with concrete controls per risk.

  • Secure RAG

    Query-time ACLs, minimisation, data provenance and sovereignty.

  • Compliance

    The AI Act with the post-Omnibus timeline, GDPR, NIS2, ISO 42001 and the GxP layer for pharma.

  • Worked example with code

    A complete pharmacovigilance triage: schema, quarantine, MCP server, graph with HITL and the poisoned-PDF test.
