A 'better' way to 'desk check' an AGI would be to feed it a somewhat 
static AGI environment using a script like:

agi-environment.sh
==================
# output a fake AGI environment
 	echo "agi_accountcode: "
 	echo "agi_callerid: 1234567890"
 	echo "agi_calleridname: example"
 	echo "agi_callingani2: 0"
 	echo "agi_callingpres: 0"
 	echo "agi_callingtns: 0"
 	echo "agi_callington: 0"
 	echo "agi_channel: SIP/example"
 	echo "agi_context: example"
 	echo "agi_dnid: *"
 	echo "agi_enhanced: 0.0"
 	echo "agi_extension: *"
 	echo "agi_language: en"
 	echo "agi_priority: 1"
 	echo "agi_rdnis: unknown"
 	echo "agi_request: example"
 	echo "agi_type: SIP"
 	echo "agi_uniqueid: 1234567890.12"
 	echo ""

# respond to requests
 	echo "200 result=0"
 	echo "200 result=0"
 	echo "200 result=0"
 	echo "200 result=0"

# (end of agi-environment.sh)

And then:

 	./agi-environment.sh | /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/getchannel.php 100
