It's this idea that when you see something, like when you see this mug and you see this thing, you know you can hold this.

Right.

It's kind of like a door handle.

You're like, I know I can turn this.

There's one reason why Tesla door handles trip some people off because they don't see the handle.

I think that's bad design.

Um, but in affordance is when the tool teaches you how to use it because it's designed the right way.

And so this is where MCP, to me, is not just an API.

It's essentially a way to expose tools for agents to essentially think about like, hey, we used to make these handles for human hands, but now we're going to make them for agent hands.

And that is a really growing art.

Anthropic who developed MCP, they're still learning best practices.

I think that's really interesting.

You know, it's to figure out what proper tool design looks like.

Um, how many tools is too many?

You know, I think right now tools are mainly a wrapper around APIs, but I think it'd be cool if they were actually doing the job, you know, not just the API.

Yeah.

So I think the team's done some good stuff.

There's some really other, some good stuff that we're going to release soon.

Yeah.

But I, I think MCP, I think MCP design, I think this, this idea of designing for a new user, the agent is, I think a really fascinating area.
