"For AI agents". I understand why everything needs to be marketed in this way, but it's just ... an easy-to-generate language for expressing charts. That's impressive! That's useful.

Isn't this literally made for AI agents to be accessed through an MCP server? Seems to me the AI agents part of the marketing is important.

But why be exclusive? Why not "Chart language for computer programs to generate"?

I don't want to use an agent at all, but i wouldn't mind generating some charts with an easy-to-generate markup language...

Careful, they'll spring something XML-derived on us.

But for that we already have mermaid.js (and its precursor Graphviz/dot).

The only reason to use this instead of existing, mature ones designed for humans is if you are an AI agent.

		Mermaid looks terrible. It is only better than nothing for the purpose of showing it to people whether produced by an LLM, by a human, or by both. Your employees may just accept the internal slop, but at some point, you have to show your charts to your customer.

Because these are completely different requirements.

for agent to generate, but also easy for human to edit (especially with UI) :)
