Summary

In this learning path, you built interoperable, secure, and reusable AI agents by using open standards and orchestration capabilities in watsonx Orchestrate. You also learned about tool standardization, cross-agent communication, and integrating agents with external services to support enterprise-grade workflows.

The learning path covered:

  • Creating MCP-compliant tools and using these tools in watsonx Orchestrate with the watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit to support secure and reusable automation.
  • Exposing MCP tools through the ContextForge MCP Gateway to enable standardized integration with external services and simplify task orchestration.
  • Skills to implement the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) standard for external agents to interoperate seamlessly with watsonx Orchestrate in multi-agent workflows.
  • Building and orchestrating external agents by using OpenAI APIs and integrating these agents into watsonx Orchestrate to create scalable and modular AI systems.
