Letting an LLM write one small program that calls your tools in a loop beats round-tripping every call through the model. Here is how I built that for UC AI with Oracle MLE, and why the sandbox was the hard part.
Build APEX AI agents with UC AI thanks to the new chat plug-in
APEX 26.1 brings native LLM function calling to PL/SQL. Here's how to design tools that the model actually uses correctly: scope, validation, and security.
UC AI v26.1 brings multi-agent systems, prompt profiles for reusable LLM configurations, and support for OpenAI's new Responses API.
The current UC AI release adds support for xAI (Grok) and OpenRouter (almost all models). Additionally, embedding is supported for all providers, you can use Toon, and override URLs for all providers.
Toon is a data representation format that is optimized for usage for LLMs. With UC AI's PL/SQL package, you can convert any JSON data to the Toon format.
