Key points

  • Isolated sandboxes are essential for multi-step agent workflows; each user gets their own execution environment with fine-grained access control.
  • Context quality determines agent performance; normalize heterogeneous financial data into clean Markdown/CSV/JSON with metadata for effective retrieval.
  • SEC filings are adversarial to parse; handle nested tables, cross-references, fiscal period ambiguity, and low-quality XBRL tags.
  • Adopt a skills-based architecture and S3-first storage, use Temporal for reliable long-running tasks, and build domain-specific evaluations to catch costly errors before users see them.
