Pro-Code AI Agents

Pro-code agents are the most flexible way the page frames building an agentic workflow on SAP BTP: full autonomy, custom API integrations and algorithms chosen by the developer, set against declarative alternatives such as content-based agents and Joule Scenarios. It names LangGraph as the framework it recommends for production, enterprise-grade agentic workflows, alongside the ReAct pattern as the plan-act-observe loop such an agent runs. That is the ground agent tooling covers, building an agent's own tool-calling loop rather than exposing an application to somebody else's agent.

Where it sits

Explains
Agent toolingBTPAgent toolingcapabilityBuilding an agent into your own application — the tools it may call, the state it keeps between turns, and the framework it runs in. Distinct from MCP servers, which expose an application to somebody else's agent, and from agent guidance, which is knowledge handed to a coding agent.
