#function-calling

A former Manus backend lead argues that one run(command="...") tool can outperform large typed tool catalogs because CLI patterns fit how LLMs consume text, prompting a debate over flexibility versus sandboxing.

A widely shared r/LocalLLaMA post from a former Manus backend lead argues that a single run(command="...") interface often beats a catalog of typed function calls for agents. The post ties Unix text streams to token-based model interfaces, then backs the claim with design patterns around piping, progressive help, stderr visibility, and overflow handling.
