AMD is one of those which would be best if it were its own functionality within ARI, but allowing execution of the application is a good enough option. I don't think applications such as Queue, Dial, ConfBridge, Playback, Record or some others really make sense. > > > > Assuming the TALK_DETECTION function isn't sufficient, it's worth > noting that the information that AMD uses to make its decisions are > available to the parts of Asterisk that make up ARI.

Indeed, that's why I suggested bringing it up on here precisely what applications people are needing to jump into the dialplan for. Best case those could be made first class citizens under ARI, but worst case I think a small subset could be allowed to be executed from ARI. I'm personally against allowing arbitrary execution of any application. There's just too many unknowns as you say. -- Joshua C.
