Agent engineering
Silex builds operations agents, for example on the Claude Agent SDK, that act only through approved automation. Each agent pauses for human approval before a change and stays within the budget you set.
Example: our agentic operations demonstration, in which an agent triages an incident and proposes a fix for a person to approve.
Agentic coding practice
Silex rolls out coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex to engineering teams. Access runs through the AI gateway with single sign-on, model access and token budgets by group, shared project instructions, skills, and audit hooks.
Example: the Governed AI Coding Assistants lab, which sets up this rollout for your platform and security teams.
MCP server design and governance
Silex designs MCP servers that give agents well-described access to enterprise systems. We secure them with OAuth, token exchange, per-tool access control, rate limits, and audit logging at the gateway.
Example: an existing REST API exposed as an MCP tool through Kong, with no backend code.
Prompt and context engineering
Silex writes system prompts, skills, and output schemas for agents whose results feed automated systems. We test each one against defined criteria before an agent uses it.
Example: agent findings drafted with cited evidence in a fixed format, so a person can review and approve them in one step.
Evaluation
Silex tests models and coding agents on realistic operations scenarios with graded rubrics. Our agent evaluation lab compares Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-weight models on the same scenarios, with judging across vendors.
Example: a workflow moves up the autonomy ladder only when the agent's diagnoses match your engineers' resolutions.
Models through gateways
Silex routes agent model traffic through an AI gateway to the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, and self-hosted models. The gateway applies rate limits, cost controls, and failover to every call.
Example: a self-hosted gpt-oss-120b served behind the Kong gateway alongside hosted models.
