Ever built an AI agent and thought,

“Wait… I don’t want it to actually run that tool yet”?

That’s where dry-run agents come in — and in this video, I show you exactly how to build one using the Microsoft Agent Framework.

You’ll learn how to simulate tool usage without executing anything. It’s safe, smart, and perfect for testing workflows, debugging logic, or getting human approval before action.

Whether you're a dev, a student, or just curious how AI agents “think before they act,” this tutorial breaks it down step-by-step — with real code, visuals, and a fun twist.

Watch now and see how dry-run agents can transform your AI workflows — safely and brilliantly.
