The new Airbyte Agents offering brings a ton of new capabilities actually.

1. Programmatic Interfaces: Including a new REST API, SDK, and MCP Server. 2. New action verbs: Not just replication anymore. We have get/set/list/update/upload, and more! 3. New credentials passthrough: For all the above, you OAuth to Airbyte and we OAuth on your behalf to the systems your agent needs. No need to provide your agents dozens of different secrets in order to access the systems it needs. 4. Context Store. Like your agents' own data warehouse, but completely automatic and hands-free. For those use cases that just aren't possible when calling the REST API directly.

Again - thanks for your comment and sorry for the longwinded response. More info here: https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/
