API.market founder suggests small API workflows for agent testing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Shashank Agarwal, founder of Noveum AI and creator of API.market, suggests using a small API workflow as an initial test for agent integration. He advises starting with a bounded task that has a clear operation, controlled input, and verifiable output, emphasizing the importance of defining failure behavior before execution. Agarwal recommends adding further operations only after their input, cost, and outcome contracts are independently reviewed, and stresses keeping raw and normalized artifacts distinct to avoid misattributing errors.
