REST is for Agents: Rediscovering Spring HATEOAS
The playbook for AI agent integration is becoming predictable: build an MCP server, expose your APIs as tools, and define the rules in prompts. That approach works, but it often pushes workflow and guardrails into client-side logic, where they are harder to enforce and easier to bypass.
This talk presents a different approach. HATEOAS (Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State)—a largely overlooked part of REST—allows an API to describe allowed actions and constraints at runtime. That makes it a natural fit for agents, which need clear, machine-readable guidance about what they can safely do next.
We’ll show this in action with MoneyMate, an AI agent that performs sensitive operations such as money transfers. Using the Spring HATEOAS project, the agent is guided entirely by the API rather than by hardcoded tools or fragile prompt logic.
AI hype aside, this is ultimately a talk about architectural validation. For years, HATEOAS was the hill REST purists loved to die on—complete with finger-wagging about “doing REST correctly”—while everyone else quietly shipped simple JSON and moved on. It turns out the purists weren’t wrong—just 20 years early. Come see why that extra structure finally pays off when your client is an LLM.
**About the venue**
Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk.

5th Field of Group Work: **The Mystery of the Wesak Festival**
Keynote: **“ I SEE, AND WHEN THE EYE IS OPENED, ALL IS ILLUMINED”**
The 5th Field represents love-wisdom — the second great aspect of divinity, the quality of illumined compassion at the heart of all genuine spiritual teaching. Wesak marks the high-water mark of spiritual blessing in the world: a time of unusual inflow of life and spiritual stimulation, when — as those who study the Ageless Wisdom understand — it is as if a door opens that at other times stands closed.
Whatever one’s tradition, those who approach this period with inner stillness, prayer, and aspiration can receive what is available and serve as channels for its wider distribution.
***
## **Major Themes of Taurus ♉**
### **Illumination**
Taurus carries the light of concentrated desire turned toward the soul — the "Eye of the Bull" which, when spiritually awakened, becomes the All-Seeing Eye of the initiate. The deepest theme of Taurus is **the shift from darkness to light**, from the heavy pull of matter to the blazing recognition of spiritual reality. Taurus teaches us that the path to illumination runs directly through our deepest desires, not around them.
### **Desire Transmuted Into Aspiration**
Ruled by Venus, Taurus governs the entire spectrum of desire — from the most material cravings to the most refined spiritual longing. The Taurean soul is engaged in the great alchemical work of **transmuting personal desire into impersonal aspiration**. What once drove the personality toward form and possession is redirected upward, becoming the single-pointed drive toward liberation and the good of the whole.
### **Will-to-Good**
At its most exalted, Taurus is the sign through which the **Will of Shamballa** flows into manifestation — the first great aspect of divinity, the cosmic will-to-good that underlies all creation. This is not personal will or even soul will, but the primordial impulse of divine purpose. The Taurean initiate becomes a channel for this Will, embodying the force that drives evolution forward.
***
## **Planetary Rulers**
**Exoteric Ruler: Venus ♀ —** The principle of love-wisdom and harmony, drawing the personality toward beauty, relationship, and the refinement of desire. Venus works in Taurus to elevate the senses toward the soul.
**Esoteric Ruler: Vulcan √ —** The divine smith who works in the depths of matter, forging the soul's instrument through the fires of experience. Vulcan represents the hidden, interior work of soul development — the patient hammering of the personal self into a fit vehicle for spiritual expression.
**Hierarchical Ruler: Vulcan √ —** At the highest level of initiation, Vulcan reveals the deep relationship between Taurus and the first aspect of Will, forging the initiate into a pure instrument of Shamballa's purpose.
***
### **Positive Qualities**
* Single-Pointed Spiritual Will
* Steadfastness and Endurance
* Capacity for Illumination
* Constructive Power to Build and Manifest
* Refined Aesthetic Sensitivity
### **Negative Qualities**
* Stubbornness and Resistance to Change
* Materialism and Possessiveness
* Sensual Indulgence
* Inertia and Attachment to Form
* Blind Determination Without Wisdom
***
# **The Labour of Hercules \~*The Capture of the Cretan Bull***
Hercules must travel to the island of Crete to capture the magnificent bull that has been rampaging through the land, sowing destruction wherever it goes. The bull represents the powerful, unmastered desire nature — the driving force of Taurus that, left unchecked, creates chaos in the life of the aspirant.
Unlike many of his other labours, Hercules captures the bull alone, without weapons, using only his bare hands and his understanding. He rides the bull across the sea back to Eurystheus, who — unable to manage it — releases it again, where it eventually becomes the Marathonian bull. This labour teaches the Taurean disciple that the desire nature cannot be killed or suppressed; it must be **understood, captured, and consciously redirected**. The great force of Taurus, once brought under the soul's control, is not destroyed but transformed — becoming the single-pointed driving power of spiritual will that carries the disciple toward liberation.

Choose Your Movie: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES vs HOKUM at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
