# Agentic Behavior: Autonomous Agents

Group 5 - an agent that starts itself: triggers, decision boundaries, and guardrails.

Every prior group built an agent that waits for a user to speak. This group is where that stops being the whole story - an agent that notices something happened somewhere else and acts on it, without anyone asking.

Three sessions: designing the trigger/boundary/guardrail shape an autonomous agent needs (5.1), building and publishing one against the Northwind return scenario (5.2), and monitoring what it actually does once it's live (5.3).
