every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.

SAP advances its autonomous enterprise push with smarter, governed Joule agents

SAP SE today announced a set of artificial intelligence innovations at its annual TechEd conference for developers, enhancing its Joule assistant solutions and Business AI Platform, including tabular data foundation models. New capabilities in Joule Work will help AI agents become more efficient and interoperate with open protocols. In this case, the Model Context Protocol […] The post SAP advances its autonomous enterprise push with smarter, governed Joule agents appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Groundhog Day for AI agents: Prompt caching patterns for using OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock

Every time an agent takes a step, it re-reads its entire context before acting. Here is how prompt caching for OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock lets your agent remember, cutting input cost and latency without resending the same tools, instructions, and history every turn.

How DocuSign cut analytics engineering time in half by pairing Claude Code with dbt v2, dbt MCP, and agent skills

DocuSign wired Claude Code, dbt Agent Skills, dbt MCP, and dbt v2 into one workflow and measured a 50% productivity gain.

How to solve dashboard debugging in six minutes with an MCP-connected AI agent

An AI agent used dbt lineage from inside the BI layer to answer three data mysteries in the time it takes to get coffee.

Anthropic open-sources the OS-level sandbox sandbox-runtime: providing container-free file and network isolation for AI agents.

On October 24, 2026, Anthropic open-sourced sandbox-runtime (srt), an OS-level sandboxing tool that operates without containers, designed to restrict file read/write and network access permissions for AI agents, MCP servers, and CLI tools. It supports macOS (Seatbelt), Linux (bubblewrap), and Windows (alpha), with npm package version 0.0.81 under the Apache-2.0 license.

Why it mattersThis tool represents a significant advancement in AI security infrastructure—achieving fine-grained, full-process-tree coverage through the operating system’s native isolation mechanisms, directly addressing the risks of prompt injection and privilege escalation, and has already been deployed for internal validation within Claude Code.

Donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation

Donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation News today from Anthropic: We’re committed to keeping Agent Skills open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral. Today, we are donating the standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, which we co-founded with Block and OpenAI last year, and to which we donated the Model Context Protocol (MCP). I'm pleased to note I called this one last December, when Anthropic first declared skills to be an "open standard": I wouldn't be surprised to see this end up in the AAIF, recently the new home of the MCP specification. Fun side note: since my blog content is available to Claude via the datasette-mcp plugin I found that post by prompting Claude to "Use simonwillison.net MCP to find if I ever talked about how I want skills t

Smartsheet launches the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents to connect directly to real-time project data on AWS.

Smartsheet has officially launched the general‑purpose Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which uses a standardized protocol to enable AI agents to read and write structured data—such as project tables, rows, columns, and automations—in Smartsheet. The service is now available within the AWS ecosystem, supporting access from two types of clients: Amazon Quick, aimed at business users, and Kiro, designed for developers. This allows for natural‑language‑driven cross‑tool task updates, status synchronization, and context‑aware development.

AWS releases a technical preview: Amazon Quick and Bedrock AgentCore enable the construction of governable, conversational supply chain intelligence systems.

AWS has launched a modular agent architecture based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), leveraging AgentCore to standardize enterprise‑level tool interfaces. Amazon Quick provides a natural‑language interaction interface for business users, enabling real‑time, approval‑driven supply chain decision support across ERP, procurement, monitoring, and other systems. This solution is currently in technical preview and is not guaranteed to be production‑ready or available for customer deployment.

AWS Agent Registry officially released: supports runtime semantic discovery and dynamic orchestration of MCP servers and A2A agents.

On October 26, 2026, AWS announced the general availability of its Agent Registry service, a managed offering that leverages hybrid semantic-plus-keyword search to dynamically discover, instantiate, and execute approved Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) agents at runtime, replacing hard-coded tool integrations and addressing bottlenecks in the large-scale orchestration of enterprise-grade AI agents.
