## Summary

OpenRouter says it made its tools easier for agents to understand and select, added structured output where it matters, and has its server tell Claude Code and Codex when to use them. In its runs, Claude Code went from 5/8 tasks to 8/8, and @manufact scores the work 100/100.

Better agent ergonomics (AgEx). Tools are easier for agents to understand and pick, structured output where it matters, and the server tells Claude Code and Codex when to reach for it. Claude Code went from 5/8 tasks to 8/8 in our runs. @manufact scores it 100/100.
