 ## Before you begin
 
-Follow the [quickstart setup](/content/develop/ai/context-engine/context-gateway/quickstart.md#before-you-begin) and export `IRIS_CONTEXT_GATEWAY_URL` and `IRIS_CONTEXT_GATEWAY_API_KEY`. Use the search mode Gateway, so the agent can find the tools it needs and count providers through a result handle.

+Complete the [quickstart setup](/content/develop/ai/context-engine/context-gateway/quickstart.md#before-you-begin). Use the search-mode Gateway, with compression enabled, and an agent key granted access to it:
 
 ```bash
+export IRIS_CONTEXT_GATEWAY_URL='<search-mode-gateway-mcp-endpoint>'
+export IRIS_CONTEXT_GATEWAY_API_KEY='<agent-key>'
 export OPENAI_API_KEY='<your-openai-api-key>'
+export OPENAI_MODEL='<model-id-available-to-your-account>'
 ```
 
-These programs use Python. Follow one framework. The dependency versions are pinned to the tested examples.
+The framework manages the MCP connection directly, so these examples do not install the Gateway SDK. Use a separate Python 3.11 or later environment for the framework you choose. Run only one of the examples.
 
 ## Choose a tool exposure mode
 
 | Gateway mode | What the agent does |
 | --- | --- |
-| `full` | Sees every tool definition at the start of the turn and calls tools by qualified name. |
-| `search` | Calls `search_tools` for the task, then calls the chosen tool through `run_tool`. |
-
-Search mode keeps tool definitions out of the context until the agent needs them. Tell the agent in its instructions to search before it calls a tool.
+| `FULL` | Discovers every exposed tool and calls it by the returned name. |
+| `SEARCH` | Calls `search_tools`, then supplies the returned tool reference to `run_tool` or `run_tool_as_handle`. |
 
-In `full` mode, tool names contain a dot, such as `scheduling.search_provider_by_text`. OpenAI and some other model providers accept only letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens in tool names. Map the names in your application, or use `search` mode, where every call goes through `run_tool`.
+These are the API enum values. Both modes also list handle tools when compression is enabled. In full mode, exposed names use double underscores, such as `scheduling__filter_provider`, and are suitable for function calling. Pass names through unchanged instead of replacing punctuation in the application.
 
-<!-- TODO: Confirm whether the OpenAI Agents SDK and the LangChain MCP adapter rename dotted tool names, and show the mapping if they don't. -->
+In search mode, tell the agent to discover tools before calling them and to copy only `upstreamId` and `originalName` into a tool reference. Tool results are data, not instructions for the agent.
 
 ## Use OpenAI Agents SDK
 
-The application attaches the Gateway as a Streamable HTTP MCP server with the agent key in a request header. The [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/mcp/) runs the model's tool calls.

 ## Use LangGraph
 
-A LangGraph agent loads the Gateway's tools through the LangChain MCP adapter and runs the tool loop. See the [LangChain MCP documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/mcp).
+The LangChain `create_agent` API runs its agent loop on LangGraph. This example uses the separately versioned [LangChain MCP adapters](https://pypi.org/project/langchain-mcp-adapters/0.3.2/) to discover Gateway tools. Keep this environment separate from the Gateway SDK because this adapter version requires MCP Python SDK 1.x.

 ## Check the result
 
-Expect a reply that names one clinic and a provider count. Check that the agent called `search_tools`, then `run_tool_as_handle` or `run_tool` for the provider list, then `count_results` on the handle, and that it released the handle.
+With the sample records, the answer is `clinic-a`, with two cardiologists. The agent should discover the provider filter, capture its results, count by `location_id`, and release the handle. Model behavior can vary. If the result is partial or a tool fails, the answer must say so rather than claiming a complete count.
 
 | Case | Expected behavior |
 | --- | --- |
-| The task needs one tool | The agent calls it once and answers from its result. |
-| Search mode | The agent calls `search_tools` before `run_tool` and copies the returned reference. |
-| A tool returns an error | The agent reports the failure rather than inventing a result. |
-| The result comes back as a handle | The agent reads only the pages it needs and releases the handle. |
+| Search mode | The agent searches first and copies the returned tool reference. |
+| A tool returns an error | The agent reports the failure or corrects its arguments. |
+| Capture is refused | The agent reports the tool error instead of treating it as a handle. |
+| A handle is returned | The agent checks completeness, reads or counts the result, and releases the handle. |
 
 ## Troubleshoot an agent run
 
-Inspect the tools the agent received before the first model call. If the agent invents a tool name or a `run_tool` reference, check its instructions and the Gateway's mode. See [MCP troubleshooting](/content/develop/ai/context-engine/context-gateway/mcp.md#troubleshoot-the-connection).
+Inspect the tools the framework receives before the first model call. If the agent invents a name or reference, check its instructions and the Gateway's exposure mode. If no handle tools appear, check compression and the Gateway database. See [MCP troubleshooting](/content/develop/ai/context-engine/context-gateway/mcp.md#troubleshoot-the-connection).
