From APIs to Capabilities – Reimagining Microservices for the Agentic Era
Details
From APIs to Intent-Driven Capability Discovery for AI Agents
As enterprises adopt AI agents, discovering the right API or tool for a user’s intent is becoming a key architectural challenge.
In this session, Bageerathan Nadaraja Nadar, Software Architect at Walmart, explores the evolution from Microservices → APIs → Tools → MCP → Semantic Capabilities and how semantic discovery can help AI agents identify the right enterprise capability without overwhelming the LLM with hundreds of tools.
The session includes a practical approach using AWS, Amazon Bedrock, vector embeddings, and MongoDB to build intent-driven capability discovery.
Key takeaways:
- Why traditional API discovery struggles in the Agentic Era
- APIs vs. Tools vs. MCP
- Semantic capability discovery
- Using embeddings for intelligent tool selection
- Building agent-ready enterprise services
A practical look at moving from API discovery to intent-driven capability discovery.
