Comment on Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP)

Comments

In my opinion, there's a lot of unnecessary criticism here. The entire AI field is in a discovery phase, with new ideas, approaches, and methods emerging at many levels, including models and APIs. Right now, we don't even have a single standardized API for model responses (OpenAI's Chat Completions API is the de facto standard, but it's not formally standardized, lacks reasoning responses, and caching remains unclear, etc.). So some ideas from projects like this could stick and contribute something new.

Agreed! Right now, there's only one way to do tool calling, and that's MCP. I'm not happy with MCP, so I want alternatives so in the end we can all choose or create the best option. We're talking about the infrastructure of the future right now, and I dont want to rebuild everything that works, just because MCP told be to.
