Every tool you connect to an agent is two things at once: tokens the model reads on every run, and an action the model can take. So the same inventory answers your cost question and your permission question. I start every agent with that inventory, and with nothing connected that the task doesn't need. I talked through this with Tom Smith on CoderLegion's Developer Stories (video, from 9:46). This post is the practical version.
When publishing platforms deprecate their developer APIs, automated syndication pipelines break. Technical bloggers and content engineers writing in local Markdown editors or static site generators are forced to manually copy and paste articles, re-format code blocks, re-upload inline graphics, and re-enter canonical URLs. Existing automation workarounds often rely on headless browser runners like Puppeteer or Playwright operating inside continuous integration servers. These headless runners require storing plaintext user credentials or session cookies on remote machines, which frequently trig
This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Software projects accumulate more than code. They accumulate decisions, bugs, fixes, discussions, constraints, and context. But that knowledge is usually scattered across source files, README files, GitHub issues, pull requests, commits, and personal notes. I built Project Mind to bring that knowledge together. Project Mind is an AI-powered memory and question-answering system for GitHub repositories, built for a friend who works on software projects and spends a lot of time trying to remember how and why differen
I run a small automation setup where agents handle repetitive SaaS work for me. They sign up for trials, provision API keys, and sometimes pay for a plan when a task needs a real account. After enough failures, I started auditing services before handing them over, and I wrote down the checks I run now. They have saved me a lot of dead ends, and they might save you some too. First, machine credentials.
