Can containers rescue AI #MCP tools? @shykes.bsky.social of @dagger.io explains his prediction that MCP tools will rapidly become locked down by IT. The Container Use project is a way to isolate MCP environments inside containers. From the #agenticdevops podcast.

Thoughts by @shykes.bsky.social on containing AI agent chaos (with Dagger as an example) by standardizing + containerizing the dev environment that agents get to do work in, while keeping the other tools around the env flexible and non-monolithic.

Really compelling demo by @shykes.bsky.social building a “mini Devin” coding agent in a few lines of code.
Finally made the core idea behind @dagger.io click: a runtime and reusable ecosystem for your builds.
Another key insight: Agents are immutable builds. 🤯

Wait 🤔 you're telling me none of you have typed composition in your MCP servers? What about *object* composition: call a function, get an object back with more functions, pass that to another function, and so on? MCP returning more MCP?
You're telling me only @dagger.io has this?

MCP is great for extending AI apps, but less useful for extending AI code.
It forces a rigid separation between "code called by llm" and "code called by code", when in practice you want to keep that boundary flexible.
Right now that nuance is getting lost in the hype.
