alt Hacker NewsAgents just do this anyway, how is it a “mode”? I always see the agent writing scripts in a tmp dir to execute or even just inlining bash and python scripts.

but these bash scripts can not execute MCP tools.
What if I have an MCP Tool LookupZip(City) and want to chain it with a bash tool that prodcues a list of 100 cities. And then I want to filter again to the largest Zip code.

Perhaps the appeal is a stronger and more customizable lockdown on agent capabilities.
