Yeah, "MCP" felt like BS from jump. Basically it's the problem that will always be a problem, namely "AI stuff is non-deterministic."
If there was some certainty MCP could add to this equation that would perhaps be theoretically nice, but otherwise it's just .. parsing, a perhaps not "solved" problem, but one for which there's already ample solutions.
The whole point of "agentic AI" is that you don't have to rigorously test every potential interaction, which means that even a temperature zero model may behave unexpectedly, which is bad for security.
Right, I'm using a perhaps loose definition of deterministic here, as in -- "With AI tools, you cannot 100% predict any output based on input, the way you can with most programming."
