Show HN: A CLI that writes its own integration code

https://docs.superglue.cloud/getting-started/cli-skills
8•adinagoerres•7h ago
We run superglue, an OSS agentic integration platform. Last week I talked to a founder of another YC startup. She found a use case for our CLI that we hadn't officially launched yet.

Her problem: customers wanted to create Opps in Salesforce from inside the chat in her app. We kept seeing this pattern: teams build agents and their users can perfectly describe what they want: "pull these three objects from Salesforce and push to nCino when X condition is true", but translating that into a generalized hard-coded tool the agent can call is a lot of work and does not scale since the logic is different for every user.

What superglue CLI does: you point it at any API, and your agent gets the ability to reason over that API at runtime. No pre-built tools. The agent reads the spec, plans the calls, executes them.

The founder using this in production described it like this: she gave the CLI to her agent with an instruction set and told it not to build tools, just run against the API. It handled multi-step Salesforce object creation correctly, including per-user field logic and record type templates.

Concretely: instead of writing a createSalesforceOpp tool that handles contact -> account -> Opp creation with all the conditional logic, you write a skill doc and let the agent figure out which endpoints to hit and in what order.

The tradeoff is: you're giving the agent more autonomy over what API calls it makes. That requires good instructions and some guardrails. But for long-tail, user-specific connectors, it's a lot more practical than building a tool for every case.

Happy to discuss. Curious if others have run into the "pre-defined tool" ceiling with MCP-based connectors and how you've worked around it.

Adina here, one of superglue's creators. I'm curious to hear folks opinions on this. Also to clarify how agents are able to call APIs via superglue: the first step is to set up auth and systems on superglue so it can process and extract documentation and any other context for calling the APIs, which is then passed on to the agents
heushreck•6h ago
Feels like you’ve basically turned the “tooling bottleneck” into a prompt + policy problem, which is way more scalable but shifts the real challenge to constraint design and observability.
adinagoerres•6h ago
Yes, we've seen this work best with clear instructions around Salesforce, Attio etc. superglue does come with a number of observability and monitoring features, but of course this can be extended for a specific setup.
