Foundations of Agentic Tool Use in Python

Master the practical building blocks of agentic systems in Python. Covering Factors 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9, you’ll prompt for structured outputs, define and validate tool schemas, own the context window, and run explicit loops that you control. You’ll also compact execution errors back into context for self-correction, turning natural language requests into reliable tool executions.

I love that it's personalized. When I'm stuck, I don't have to hope my Google searches come out successful. The AI mentor Cosmo knows exactly what I need.

It's an amazing product and exceeded my expectations, helping me prepare for my job interviews. Hands-on learning requires you to actually know what you are doing.

Alex Bush

Full Stack Engineer

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

Abbey Helterbran

Tech consultant

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
