This article argues against the common practice of creating simple, one-to-one wrappers for existing APIs to be used by AI agents. While quick to set up, these wrappers often lack domain-specific semantics, proper governance, and can lead to context bloat, degrading agent performance. The author advocates for designing domain-specific tools that encode expert judgment, such as a more sophisticated incident analysis tool that flags duplicates and signals the need for human review, rather than exposing raw data and basic operations.
