<p>Smart approach combining tools behind a single interface. The "cheapest model that passes evaluation" pattern is underrated.<p>One data point that might help with the research tool: not all APIs work equally well when called by agents. We scored 387 APIs on agent-friendliness and 54% fail the bar. The main gaps are no CLI tool (66%) and no machine-readable pricing (72%). If your research tool is helping agents pick APIs to integrate, the scores at clirank.dev/api/apis?sort=score could save the expensive model from wasting tokens on APIs that'll fail headless.</p>
