Am I missing something? Setting the throttle to 0% seems to do nothing?

I assume because the discovery is branching. If the an agent using the CLI for for GitHub needs to make an issue, it can check the help message for the issue sub-command and go from there, doesn't need to know anything about pull requests, or pipelines, or account configuration, etc, so it doesn't query those subcommands.

Compare this to an MCP, where my understanding is that the entire API usage is injected into the context.

Also, as someone who has tried to build tools that automate finding flights, The existing players in the space have made it nearly impossible to do. But now Google is just going to open the door for it?

Can someone explain what the hell is going on here?

Do websites want to prevent automated tooling, as indicated by everyone putting everything behind Cloudfare and CAPTCHAs since forever, or do websites want you to be able to automate things? Because I don't see how you can have both.

If I'm using Selenium it's a problem, but if I'm using Claude it's fine??

Consider that this isn't just a random AI slopped assortment of 9,000 tests, but instead is a robust suite of tests that cover 100% of the HTML5 spec.

Does this guarantee that it functions completely with no errors whatsoever? Certainly not. You need formal verification for that. I don't think that contradicts what Simon was advocating for though in this post.

The equivalency here is not 9 billion versus 90 billion, it's 9 billion versus 90 million, and the question is how does the decline look? Does it look like the standard of living for everyone increasing so high that the replacement rate is in the single digit percentage range, or does it look like some version of Elysium where millions have immense wealth and billions have nothing and die off?
