I keep encountering mistakes by people who are convinced that agentic interactions are nothing new, that all the decades of hard-won lessons about service API design are 100% relevant and nothing more is needed, that agents can be relegated to the role of just-another-caller and left to the dismal domain of client developers.

It’s not true. It’s not totally untrue, but don’t hide your head in the sand.

You didn't provide any arguments to support your claim. Calling people names isn't going to convince anyone.

If agents are "like humans" (whatever we mean by that), then shouldn't all the lessons we learned over the decades on how to build APIs for direct and indirect human consumption be extremely relevant?
