Developer refines agent-server interaction through CLI and reflection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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.

    My server pushes hints to agents — and the 3 iterations that led there

    <p>I avoided MCP from day one. No schema overhead, no token tax. The agent called my GraphQL API directly with a behavior spec and good documentation. I assumed that was enough: clear docs, correct architecture, let the agent figure it out.</p> <p>It wasn't. The moment that chang…
