Building separate CLIs for each provider and encountering runtime tool selection errors
Problem
Users must write a separate CLI for each SaaS provider, which is labor‑intensive, and the agent may incorrectly select tools at runtime, causing credential leaks or functional errors, reducing reliability.
Pain points
- Building separate CLIs for each provider
- Runtime tool selection errors causing functional or security risks
- Lack of unified tool usage constraints leading to unexpected errors
Questions to verify
- Is it truly necessary to build a separate CLI for each provider?
- What impact do runtime incorrect tool selections have on security or functionality?
- Would users be willing to pay for this framework or look for alternatives?
Evidence

We found after deploying many enterprise agents that letting the model choose tools at run time can cause problems. The agent holds the credential and sometimes chooses the wrong tool. Using the same tool every time prevents this.

I have to build a cli for every provider? Seems like a lot of effort.

This does not make any sense whatsoever.
