Re: A broader discussion: the usefulness of REST

Hi Pierre.

for any consumer...

This is a very important point and a key advantage to the other JSON-RPC
approaches we've been discussing.

Hydra is an excellent starting point. It should remain agnostic to the use
case, i.e. applicable to an agentic system, a traditional hypermedia API,
or any other RESTful system.

This isn't enough however. What I think is needed are guidelines on how to
use Hydra to build a language for agents, e.g. a standardised way to
express concepts we find in MCP like prompts and tools, but extensible to
express any other innovation that may come up in the future.

Rigel.
