Hi Adi,
AGI is probably best viewed like any other dialplan application (and
with DeadAGI something that happens after, but anyway) -- in my opinion.
I've seen people do some pretty wild stuff with it, but in the end, when
I wonder if the Manager interface or AGI interface is most appropriate
for a given task, I ask questions like "Would I want to do this with
another application? Is this even possible with another application?".
In your case, I'd say you probably couldn't say... periodically execute
a dialplan application that runs in the middle of a call without
interrupting the call (with AGI, anyway). I'd recommend using the
Manager interface and polling for call durations / listening for events
and acting on the information you get back (I'd assume the answered
duration is one of those values you could poll for).
Hope this helps -- others, please jump in if I'm way wrong :)

Subject: [asterisk-users] Passing call duration to an AGI Script
Hi,
I'm trying to find a way of passing the actual call duration
(something like ANSWEREDTIME) to an AGI
script that runs periodically during a call. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adi.
