Agent on the Wire: Looking Inside an AI Coding Agent

🕑

Time and room for this session are published in October. when the timetable goes live.

What actually happens between giving an AI coding agent a task and receiving working software?

In this hands-on lab, participants will route a coding agent through an interception layer and inspect the interactions normally hidden behind the terminal interface. They will follow the instructions, context, tool definitions, tool calls, and results exchanged while the agent work effectively observing its visible “brain activity” in real time.

Participants will then use a coding agent to create a small project, capture the resulting traffic, and transform it into a visual HTML report. The preconfigured environment keeps the focus on experimentation rather than setup.

Attendees leave with a practical mental model of how coding agents operate and a repeatable approach for analyzing and improving agent workflows.
