A wrapper translates a messy or unstable external API into a small, stable, agent-friendly tool contract — so the model sees one clean function while the adapter absorbs auth, pagination, error handling, and schema… Typical conditions for use: APIs are inconsistent or unstable; Agents require simple tool contracts. The central trade-off: More stable agent in…
