You're making the convenience argument, but I'm making the architecture argument. They're not the same thing. You say "a very simple API baked into the model's existing context is …

The last time I looked at MCPs closely, they appeared to pollute context and just hang there consuming context constantly. Whereas a self-documenting API or CLI tool enabled progre…
