OpenClawNet - Tools + Agent Workflows

In this session we will transform our chatbot into an intelligent agent that can call tools to interact with the outside world. We will build a tool framework with `ITool`, `IToolRegistry`, and `IToolExecutor` interfaces, and implement production-ready tools for file system access, shell commands, web fetching, and task scheduling — all with built-in security guardrails.

At the end we will have an agent that reasons through multi-step tasks on its own. Ask it to "Summarize my project's README" or "Check what's in my Downloads folder" — it will break the problem into steps, call the right tools, and report back.

Key Topics & Technologies:

• Agent orchestration and reasoning loops
• Tool abstraction and design patterns
• Security considerations (path traversal, command injection, SSRF)
• Tool UI and result streaming
• LLM function calling protocol
• Dependency injection and service registration
• Structured logging and observability hooks

Pre-requisites:

• Experience: Intermediate C# and ASP.NET Core knowledge (not a .NET 101)
• Environment: .NET 10 SDK, VS Code + GitHub Copilot (or Visual Studio), Docker (for Ollama)
• Optional: Azure subscription (for Sessions 3–4, but local development works fine throughout)
• Mindset: Curiosity about AI agents, willingness to follow along live and ask questions
