CLI doesn't make any sense.
They are insecure, dangerous have footguns and based on old primitives that are bad for humans and agents.
CLIs are just a trendy fad currently but will fade away for anything used in serious usecases.
Why would you want to use a CLI for an API when an API is more quicker and less error prone than CLIs.
We need to move away from suboptimally thinking CLIs solve the problem of less token usage entirely.
In the long run, MCPs are only in its infancy stage, and make the most sense for businesses and actual users.
Just because an agent can use a CLI doesn't mean it's the best solution, IMO it is the worst solution.
- smokeydoe 7mo agoIt sounds like you are saying CLI is better now, but not in the long term? If someone is optimizing for less token usage.
- colesantiago 7mo agoI'm saying it's the wrong solution completely because it's currently a fad.
