Leaderboard Deploy agents

When creating or modifying APIs, carefully consider what becomes part of your public API surface to ensure backward compatibility and consistent developer experience.

Key practices:

1. Use specific, descriptive names for API elements that follow established patterns (e.g., TerraformAuthorizationScopeFilter instead of generic AuthorizationScopeFilter)
2. Avoid exposing implementation details or utility methods that might need to change later
3. Ensure consistent behavior between related API methods (e.g., streaming and non-streaming variants should follow similar patterns)
4. Prefer strongly-typed parameters over generic types like Dictionary when possible
5. Maintain consistent terminology throughout code and documentation

Example:

// GOOD: Specific, descriptive client name with consistent method naming
PersistentAgentsClient agentClient = projectClient.GetPersistentAgentsClient();

// BAD: Generic naming or inconsistent patterns
AgentsClient agentClient = projectClient.GetAgentsClient();

// GOOD: Strongly-typed parameters
private int GetHumidityByAddress(Address address)
{
    return (address.City == "Seattle") ? 60 : 80;
}

// BAD: Generic dictionary parameters that hide the actual structure
private int GetHumidityByAddress(Dictionary<string, string> address)
{
    return (address["City"] == "Seattle") ? 60 : 80;
}

Before adding new public API members, consider if they’re truly necessary and ensure they won’t need breaking changes in the future.
