The Model Context Protocol has transformed how we connect AI to tools. But connecting agents to tools is only half the battle — connecting agents to each other is where the real challenge begins. I recently read @raviteja_nekkalapu_'s excellent article "I built an AI security Firewall and made it open source because production apps were leaking SSNs to OpenAI" and it resonated deeply with challeng

The classification is decided by a single field on the Query node, commandType, and from that point on the two camps travel completely different paths. One goes through t
Go is a compiled language — the code is converted into machine‑readable form before execution. From a beginner’s perspective, this means Go catches many errors during compilation, giving you cleaner, faster, and more predictable performance at runtime. Go is widely used for: API development CLI tools Microservices architecture Backend server. DEVOPS activity So it fits perfectly with the kind of
If you've tried building an AI agent in the last six months, you've hit the same wall: there are half a dozen frameworks, each with a different philosophy, a different API surface, and a different definition of what an "agent" even is. I spent a weekend writing the same simple agent — "read a GitHub issue, classify it as bug/feature/question, and post a comment" — in six different frameworks. This
