Where the workflow shifted

Agent tools are easier to evaluate when grouped by job: coding, research, browser work, automation, support, or data analysis.

Tool names are not outcomes

The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.

Check permissions and failure

  • Choose tools by workflow rather than collecting names
  • Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production

What still needs proof

Use this as a signal or index, not as final proof. Verify key facts through official pages or documentation. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
