Yeah, the entire suite of proposed "standards" catering to agents looks like a temporary measure to duct-tape over the limitations and token costs of today's agents. They'll churn as quickly as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI et al. can release new versions of their frontier models.

That's fine. We need a fix for today's problems today.

True, that's fine. As long as people don't elevate these transient "standards" to the same level as something like basic security and accessibility.

I don't think that's it at all, and I'm baffled as the suggestion it is. These things are just formats for ad-hoc interfaces to help share context used by agents. It's in the same vein of designing cli apps with progressive disclosure in mind.
