My work recently changed an agent API. It was a certain CLI tool built for agents which I had copied into one of my Skills.
What they did was kind of clever. When the agent calls the old API/uses old args, I guess they told it to tell the human to fix their skill and 'upgrade' to the new API. They even provided a skill upgrader skill.
Anyway, my agent tried calling it the old way, must have received some sort of error message and then diligently reported to me that my skill needed upgrading and we should be doing it some new way.
Kind of like reverse feedback I guess? Not the AI giving feedback to them, but them giving feedback to me via my AI.
Good one! Also, a simple thing - when your service gets miscalled (wrong params either via cli or http) instantly show help/explaination of the proper param uses. Can save a few turns of agents trying to figure out what’s wrong. Helps humans as well :)
