So Pi is also accruing cruft now :(

You can turn those tools off. In fact, that is what I am doing right now in https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw until I am positive the new MCP stuff has full parity with the MCP adapter I've been shipping for the past six months or so.

I'm actually pretty happy that they did it, since 90% of what I have to integrate in enterprises is MCP-driven (it's a security and auth boundary that has become pretty much mandatory for any third-party agents wanting to reach into corporate data) and this lets me use Pi directly. Am just being cautious about the first version, because, well... it's a first version, and I like my tools stable.

(I actually played around with the idea of using QuickJS myself for codemode, but since I rely on Bun that gives me the ability to use other things... never got around to do it though.)

To be clear: absolutely not the plan and nothing is loaded by default that was not loaded before.
