A developer details three iterations in building an agent that interacts with a server via a GraphQL API. Initially, the agent struggled with correctly formatting API requests, leading to excessive token usage and errors. The developer then introduced a command-line interface (CLI) to provide type-safe arguments, significantly reducing errors and improving efficiency. The final iteration focused on a "pause-and-reflect" methodology, where the agent is prompted to consider previous actions and data before executing new commands, preventing redundant or poor decisions.
