Swytchcode is a CLI execution layer that sits between your AI agent and production APIs like Front Channel—handling authentication, retries, idempotency, and policy control so your agent can call real APIs safely instead of failing silently.

How do I get started with Swytchcode?

Run "npx swytchcode" to install the CLI—no account required. Then run "swytchcode get front_channel" to pull the Front Channel manifest and you're ready to call it from your agent.

How does an AI agent actually call the Front Channel API through Swytchcode?

Your agent runs "swytchcode exec front_channel. " with arguments. Swytchcode validates the call against the Front Channel manifest schema, attaches your stored credentials, executes the request, and returns structured JSON your agent can act on—no auth or HTTP handling lives in your agent's code.

What happens if a Front Channel call fails, times out, or hits a rate limit?

Swytchcode assigns every Front Channel call an idempotency key and retries it automatically on transient failures or rate limits. If your agent re-runs the same action, Swytchcode recognizes the retry and prevents duplicate messages or emails—a raw HTTP call wouldn't give you that safety net.

Can I restrict which Front Channel actions my agent is allowed to run?

Yes. Policy rules in "tooling.json" let you allowlist or blocklist specific Front Channel actions—for example, allow read-only calls but block anything destructive, or require approval above a threshold. Swytchcode enforces this before the call reaches Front Channel, not after.

Where does Swytchcode store my Front Channel credentials?

You authenticate once, and Swytchcode stores and refreshes your Front Channel credentials server-side. Your agent—and the LLM behind it—only ever sees action names and results, never raw API keys or tokens.

Do I need to write a custom Front Channel SDK integration for my agent?

No. "swytchcode get front_channel" pulls a pre-built, versioned manifest describing every available Front Channel action and its parameters, so your agent calls actions by name instead of you writing and maintaining request/response glue code.

How is calling Front Channel through Swytchcode different from calling its API directly?

A direct call means you handle token refresh, retries, error parsing, and schema drift yourself, with no guardrails on what the agent can execute. Swytchcode does all of that and checks each call against your policy rules first, so an agent can't do something with Front Channel you didn't explicitly approve.

Do I need a specific framework to call Front Channel?

No. Swytchcode runs as a CLI or MCP server, so any agent, IDE assistant, or script can call it. Use the LLM and framework your team prefers.

Does Swytchcode log what my agent does with Front Channel?

Yes. Every Front Channel call—action, arguments, result, and timestamp—is written to a full audit trail, so you can debug unexpected agent behavior or review exactly what ran in production.

API Integration

Front Channel API for AI Agents

Connect the Front Channel API to your AI agent through Swytchcode. Call the Front Channel API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

Use cases

What can you build with the Front Channel API?

Call Front Channel directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.

Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the Front Channel API surface.

Chain Front Channel with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.

Give an agent safe read/write access to Front Channel in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

Setup guide

How to connect the Front Channel API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every Front Channel call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1
Install the CLI
Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.
2
Pull the manifest
Run "swytchcode get front_channel" to pull the Front Channel API manifest, including its schema and available actions.
3
Authenticate once
Provide your Front Channel API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.
4
Call it from your agent
Run "swytchcode exec front_channel.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

swytchcode get front_channel
swytchcode exec front_channel.<action> --key value
