rest api with swagger docs requires one extra hop to pull the details necessary to interact with the api, and it pollutes context in a similar way as mcp.

ideally what you would have is skills + scripts that the agent can load progressively to interact with the api

or even better: a single cli tool the agent is aware of, and which combines `--help` output with `tldr` tips, when the command is incomplete, and prints out helpful error messages when the incantation is wrong
