Agents After Dark
What happens when your customer is an AI agent, not a person?
Transcript coming soon.
MCP is a standard that lets AI agents discover and call external services and data in a structured, deterministic way. It turns products that people once clicked through into services that software agents can invoke directly.
It centres on a registry of available tools plus a search-and-invoke pattern, where agents find the right service and call it. Vectorised tools help cut token costs across hundreds of services.
The moment an agent can order, transact, or spend money, a human confirmation step becomes important for control and accountability. Ajay notes that most major providers still do not support elicitation out of the box.
No. MCP itself is deterministic, so hallucination is an agent problem rather than a protocol problem. The reliability question sits with how the agent reasons, not with the tool calls.
Roughly 62% of companies are experimenting while only about 28% are scaling. The episode looks at the architecture, security, and go-to-market decisions that move an organisation from pilots to production.
