When does this happen?

IF User needs to decide between single API call, workflow, or agent architecture.

How others solved it

THEN Use the decision tree: start with simplest tier (single call). For multi-step pipelines with code-controlled logic, use Claude API + tool use (workflow). For server-managed stateful site_1 with persistent configs and sandbox, use Managed site_2. Only choose agent if complexity, value, viability, and error tolerance are all satisfied.
