The Skill determines the correct protocol based on your input and validates the output against the Earl template schema.

What is the best way to add new commands to an existing provider template?▼

The best way to add new commands to an existing provider template is to specify the desired commands, which allows the generation process to append them while ensuring adherence to the Earl template schema. This streamlines extending your agent's toolset with new shell commands or database calls.

Can I use this to create templates for both REST APIs and SQL databases?▼

Yes, you can create templates for both REST APIs and SQL databases because the protocol inference mechanism supports HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, Bash, and SQL. It automatically determines the correct protocol based on your input to generate the appropriate Earl HCL file.

How does protocol inference work when creating Earl templates?▼

Protocol inference works by analyzing your provided service details to automatically determine whether HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, Bash, or SQL is required. It then generates the corresponding Earl HCL template, ensuring the correct protocol structure is applied for your custom integration.

Do I need to manually validate my generated Earl HCL templates?▼
