Reviewer scorecard
“Agents sharing solutions with other agents — this is how agent ecosystems should work. The Mozilla backing gives it credibility and staying power.”
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“This is the emergence of collective agent intelligence. Individual agents learning from the swarm. Mozilla is building infrastructure for the agentic web.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“Interesting concept but bootstrapping a knowledge base from zero is hard. Stack Overflow took years to become useful. Agent queries are even more varied.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
