Design Philosophy​

  • Method-specific actions — dedicated actions for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE instead of a single generic request. Clearer semantics for the agent.
  • Auto-parsing — responses are automatically parsed based on content type (JSON, text, binary).
  • Background downloads — large files download in the background with progress tracking.
  • Security-aware — read-only methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS) are low risk. Write methods are medium risk.
