Turns out that basic shell commands are a really powerful for context management. And you get tools which run in shells for free.

But yes. Other agent platforms will adopt this pattern.

I prefer to provide CLIs to my agent

I find it powerful how it can leverage and self-discover the best way to use a CLI and its parameters to achieve its goals

It feels more powerful than providing pre-defined set functions as MCP that will have less flexibility as a CLI
