A discussion about using Hypermedia as a complement to MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI agents. The core problem addressed is 'tool bloat' in the context window — when too many MCP tools (e.g., 500 APIs) are exposed to a model, it gets confused and suffers context rot. The speaker proposes revisiting the old Hypermedia concept (referencing Spring HATEOAS) as a way to complement, not replace, MCP by reducing tool overload.
