If you have heard the buzzword "agentic AI" but avoided finding out what it meant until now: 1. Someone figured out an LLM can do JSON RPCs by typing out the JSON token by token. 2. The LLM is run in a harness that regexes out the JSON from its output and executes the RPC. 3. The response is catted into the LLM's context window, also in the form of JSON that the LLM just reads. 4. People connect these harnesses to system shells on their dev machines. 5. Fast forward, this is a trillion-dollar industry held together by markdown files asking the LLM to please not curlbash from the internet.

@toxomat Yeah, I think "harness" is a pretty common term for glue code. As in "test harness".
