Understanding why an LLM chose a specific tool can be just as important as the tool call itself. Today's Spring AI Recipe shows how to use AugmentedToolCallbackProvider to capture and inspect tool-selection reasoning from the model.

I’ll be speaking at UberConf 2026 this July, including sessions on Spring AI alongside a fantastic lineup of Java, architecture, cloud, leadership, and software development topics.

Spring AI’s ToolCallAdvisor unlocks something SimpleLoggerAdvisor couldn’t previously see: the full tool-calling conversation between your app and the LLM. See every request, tool negotiation, and response across all Spring AI model abstractions.
Tools give agents power. Security determines who gets to use that power.
In today's Spring AI recipe, you'll secure an MCP server with an API key.
Your agent's workflow doesn’t have to settle for its first answer. Add a simple loop and let it evaluate, revise, and improve until it gets it right.
Today's Spring AI Recipe builds upon previous recipes to add a loop to a graph-based workflow.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been publishing a growing series of Spring AI Recipes covering agents, MCP, A2A, memory, workflows, tools, and more.
There’s now a central place to find all of the recipes in one spot: https://www.habuma.com/springairecipes/
New article: Exploring MCP with Spring AI 🧵
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is becoming a key primitive in the AI tooling landscape — giving LLMs structured access to your application via Tools, Resources, Prompts, and Apps.
Spring AI wraps the MCP Java SDK with Boot starters and annotations that feel natural to any Spring developer.

Completely autonomous agents are like unplanned road trips--flexible, but unpredictable. Graph-based workflows provide a roadmap, while still allowing decisions along the way.
In today’s Spring AI recipe you'll build a graph-based agentic workflow with Spring AI Alibaba Graph.
