Japan is rapidly embracing Agentic AI. New products, services, and platforms are emerging as organizations explore how AI agents can transform the way we work and build software.Yet an important question remains:Who is building the technologies that define the future of AI agents?Behind every protocol, specification, and open source project is a community shaping how agents communicate,...

Hall C

AI models and agent frameworks are advancing rapidly, but intelligence alone does not make an organisation agentic. To create real value, agents must safely interact with enterprise systems, data, people and business processes.This keynote explores the architectural challenge beyond the model: building a control and execution layer for enterprise AI.

Tool descriptions tell an agent what a tool can do, but not how to orchestrate those capabilities toward a goal, or supplement them with specialized knowledge.

Friday September 11, 2026 10:20 - 10:45 JST

Hall B

As AI agents move from answering questions to taking actions across enterprise systems, reliability cannot be achieved through model quality alone. A practical production architecture separates non-deterministic reasoning from deterministic execution.This session explores how to define that boundary with MCP-enabled tools. Agents can interpret ambiguous requests, gather context, and choose among...

The hardest part of agentic engineering isn't writing the code; It’s proving that a prompt tweak or a new tool schema didn't completely break your agent's routing logic. Traditional unit testing falls short when dealing with non-deterministic agent trajectories.This session looks at how to build an automated local evaluation and regression testing pipeline for ADK workflows.

Skills as Reusable Operational Knowledge - Nimit Savant, DevRev

Hall 1F

The next leap in agent engineering is not bigger models. It's reusable skills. Today, many agents repeatedly spend tokens rediscovering the same workflow every time a task appears. Whether it's code reviews, incident analysis, documentation generation, or research tasks, the agent often re-plans work it has already solved before. This talk explores how agent skills are emerging as reusable...

Architecture Behind the Most Viral Agent Memory Open Source Project - Rohit Ghumare, DEVREL AS SERVICE & Vinuja Khatode

Hall C

Most agent memory is a chat log with extra steps. Dump turns into a vector store, retrieve the top-k by cosine similarity, and hope the right context shows up. It usually doesn't, and the agent pays for it three turns later. Agentmemory MCP Server began as a fix for that. It combines BM25, dense vector search, and a knowledge graph, fuses them with reciprocal rank fusion, and ages stored memories...

Your agent swarm is running. It's browsing the web, calling APIs, reading files, making decisions, all on behalf of your users and your organisation. But ask yourself: do you know which agent did what? Can you revoke access to just one of them? Can you prove to an auditor that your agents only touched what they were supposed to? Probably not.

AI-powered incident response sounds like the perfect use case for autonomous agents, but giving them unrestricted access to raw alerts and logs can quickly turn automation into hallucination.

MCP-Powered Crash Investigation: How 11 MCP Servers Help an AI Agent Debug Production Issues at Uber - Kriti Dangi, Uber

Your Agent Starts the Checkout. Then What? - Muskan Jain, Independent

Friday September 11, 2026 12:05 - 12:30 JST

Hall C

Modern agent workflows rarely finish in a single tool call. Commerce, travel, healthcare, and enterprise operations all require multi-step, stateful, failure-prone transactions that span agents, tools, and time. MCP today excels at stateless tool invocation, but production systems demand more: resumability, idempotency, compensation, human-in-the-loop, and trust boundaries. In this talk, we...

Stateful Sandboxes for Stateless Agents: Designing Durable Volumes for MCP Tool Workspaces - Rui Su, Juicedata

Agent sandboxes are often described as ephemeral, but real MCP tool workflows are not. Agents edit files, install dependencies, run tests, download inputs, generate reports, and resume after failures. When workspace state is treated as disposable, reproducibility, isolation, and debugging become unnecessarily painful. This talk presents a practical framework for designing durable volumes in...

Hall B

As AI agents move from local tests to real-world use, developers face a big problem: How do we easily find, direct, secure, and track AI traffic going to MCP servers? Standard API gateways do not understand LLM tool calls, and writing static lists of agents is too hard to manage.In this hands-on workshop, we will connect AI agents and external tools easily using the standalone versions of...

MCP × A2A Platform for the Enterprise: Security by Spec - Masaki Tsukada, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation

Friday September 11, 2026 16:45 - 17:10 JST

Hall C

Open protocols like MCP and A2A let you combine agents and tools from different teams into one system.But at company-wide scale, new challenges arise: who can access the system, who can call which agent, whether it fails safely, and whether it follows internal governance. Coding agents now write most of the code, so the spec we give them shapes the whole system's quality.We'll share how we tackled...

Externalizing Agent State: Memory and Filesystem Management for Sandboxed Coding Agents - Tadatoshi Sekiguchi, PingCAP

Friday September 11, 2026 16:45 - 17:10 JST

Hall 1F

Coding-agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode are widely used as general-purpose agent platforms, customized with Skills and Tools and run inside sandboxes. But these agents are stateless by design: when a session ends or a sandbox is torn down, context and artifacts disappear. Running them in production for many users over months turns memory and artifact management into hard...

From Logs to Proofs: Cryptographic Compliance for Agentic Payments - Aggre Hiroyuki, Lemma Oracle

Friday September 11, 2026 17:20 - 17:45 JST

Hall 1F

Most agentic payment systems enforce compliance through post-hoc log monitoring: detection after the fact, not prevention. This talk argues that cryptographic proof can replace compliance theater: an agent generates a zero-knowledge attestation that its intended payment satisfies policy constraints before execution.We present Trust402, an open-source protocol demonstrating this model in...

Your Agent Inherits Code, Not Decisions: How To Use Context Graphs for Intent - Nyah Macklin, Neo4j

Friday September 11, 2026 17:20 - 17:45 JST

Hall C

Technical debt lives in code. Cognitive debt lives in your head. Intent debt, Addy Osmani's term for the goals, constraints, and rationale behind a decision that never got written down, lives nowhere. It's the one debt agents can't pay down: an agent drafting a spec fills the gap with a confident guess, and the guess is usually wrong. This talk covers building context graphs that capture the why:...
