API
The defined surface one piece of software offers another: the functions, the endpoints, the shapes of the data.

Cursor Agent SDK
“you're using self-hosted cloud agents, you can do that um you you can do that as well. And so, the idea here is that there's going to be a pretty uh you know, straightforward surface area of the API that you need to learn. And it is runtime…”
Engineering Teams in the Agentic Era
“PyCharm, and the sort of the full family of the JetBrains products. We also have the concept of cloud agents, which let you trigger and manage the Cursor agent from web, from your phone. Uh you can kick off agents via integrations we have w…”
