AXI (Agent eXperience Interface) is a set of 10 design principles plus reference CLI tools for building agent-ergonomic applications that treat token budget as a first-class constraint. It ships reference implementations like gh-axi and chrome-devtools-axi that outperform MCP and human-oriented CLIs on cost, speed, and task success in published benchmarks.

Use cases

• reduce token cost when agents call CLI tools
• replace MCP servers with cheaper agent-native interfaces
• build agent-ergonomic CLI tools following design principles
• benchmark agent tool interfaces for success rate and cost
• automate GitHub operations from an AI agent
• automate browser tasks with lower overhead than MCP

When to choose

• you are building CLI tools primarily consumed by LLM agents
• you want lower token cost and fewer turns than MCP tool protocols
• you need validated, benchmarked agent tooling patterns
• you want ready-made agent-friendly wrappers for GitHub or Chrome DevTools

When to avoid

• you need a mature, widely-adopted standard with broad ecosystem support
• your tools are primarily for human users rather than agents
• you require MCP-specific features like transport-level integrations
• you need guaranteed results across models other than those benchmarked
