Hill-Climbing Agent Quality with Agents CLI Evaluation
9h
- Collected

This post walks through the Agents CLI evaluation loop for systematically improving agent performance through continuous testing and grading. It demonstrates how to catch prompt regressions, evaluate model backend swaps using side-by-side trace comparisons, and automate evaluation passes. Developers will also learn how to integrate nightly scheduled runs with threshold-based alerting to track quality over time.

Announcing MCP support in Apigee hybrid: agentic tools that run in your own cluster
Apigee hybrid 1.17.0 introduces native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, enabling the MCP data plane to run directly within your own Kubernetes cluster. This architecture ensures that AI agent request traffic and tool execution remain entirely inside your infrastructure while pulling configuration updates from the control plane. Developers can expose OpenAPI 3.0.x specifications as discoverable MCP tools, leverage existing security…
Announcing DPoP Support for Google OAuth: Securing Refresh Tokens
Google OAuth Platform now supports DPoP (Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession) to sender-constrain refresh tokens, neutralizing Infostealer malware and adversary-in-the-middle attacks. By cryptographically binding long-lived refresh tokens while maintaining short-lived access tokens as standard Bearer tokens, developers achieve robust credential security without incurring high-QPS API performance overhead. Additionally, developers integrating multi-agent or Model Context Protocol (MCP) workloads can use Google Cloud Secure Token…
