The trend of CLI-first design because AI agents need it is interesting. We ended up in the same place building developer tools, the CLI and API came first because that's what agents actually consume. The dashboard came after.

The cf permissions check idea from the top comment is great. One thing I've found is that agents are surprisingly good at using CLIs but terrible at diagnosing why a command failed. Clear error messages with the exact fix ("missing scope X, run cf token add --scope X") matter way more for agent usability than the happy path.
