Build an AI Agent Workshop: Safety-First Design

By Learnia Team

Build an AI Agent: Safety-First Workshop

This article is written in English. Our training modules are available in multiple languages.

An AI agent without safety guardrails is a liability. In this workshop, you will build a complete agent system — not just the reasoning loop, but the safety infrastructure that makes it production-worthy: tool whitelisting, human confirmation, cost controls, and output validation.

Workshop Goal

By the end, you will have built an agent that:

  1. Takes a user question and plans a series of actions
  2. Uses 3 tools: web search, calculator, and document lookup
  3. Requires human confirmation for any action that modifies data
  4. Stops after 7 iterations or $0.50 in API costs
  5. Validates its final answer against observed evidence

Step 1: Define the Agent Architecture

Step 2: Implement Safety Layers

Step 3: Testing Your Agent

Common Agent Anti-Patterns

Test Your Understanding

Next Steps

You have built an AI agent with proper safety guardrails. In the next module, you will explore AI image generation — understanding diffusion models and learning to prompt for visual content.
