Simple discovery of the provider's default schemas is possible without any credentials (since they are built into the binary). If you want it to fetch customizations of your specific instance, give it credentials to your org. The repo has more details. https://github.com/agent-cli-framework/aclif

We found after deploying many enterprise agents that letting the model choose tools at run time can cause problems. The agent holds the credential and sometimes chooses the wrong tool. Using the same tool every time prevents this.

I have to build a cli for every provider? Seems like a lot of effort.

This does not make any sense whatsoever.

How does this differ from the printing press?
