# Asana API for AI Agents

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

## What can you build with the Asana API?
1. Call Asana directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the Asana API surface.
3. Chain Asana with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to Asana in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

## How to connect the Asana API to an AI agent
Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every Asana 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 asana" to pull the Asana API manifest, including its schema and available actions.
3. **Authenticate once**  
Provide your Asana 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 asana.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

### Copy
```
swytchcode get asana
swytchcode exec asana.<action> --key value
```
