AI Agents

# AI Agents in Networking

A fast-growing category: LLM-powered agents applied to network operations — troubleshooting, configuration, change management, and observability.

## Directories & Field Guides

• NetAgents — a hand-checked directory of vendor and open-source agentic AI tools for networking, plus long-form articles on the space.

## Core Concepts

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the emerging standard for connecting LLMs to external tools and data sources, including network device/API access.
• Building Effective AI Agents (Anthropic) — a solid primer on agent design patterns that applies directly to network automation use cases.
