Stop Letting Your Context Get Out of Control

Join us at AGNTCon + MCPCon NA 2026, https://hubs.la/Q04gbXLb0 Closing the Context Gap: Making Your APIs Agent-Ready - Aanchal Mishra, Postman & Ali Mustafa Shaikh, Pieces AI Traditional AI implementation relies on "tool sprawl": manually wrapping every API action into custom functions. This creates a maintenance burden where prompts swell, tokens vanish, and agents hallucinate under the weight of excessive choice. At Postman, we’ve shifted the paradigm: instead of teaching agents how an app works, we provide them with structured context they already understand through the MCP. This session moves beyond theory to demonstrate a live "AI Readiness" workflow using Postman’s native Git integration. We will pit a well-defined OpenAPI schema against a poorly designed one to visualize the "Context Tax" - showing how architectural debt leads to 2x higher token usage and fumbled execution. By leveraging Postman’s MCP Server generator and CLI SDKs, I’ll demonstrate how to transform static documentation into active "code skills" that agents like Claude can navigate autonomously. Attendees will learn to build APIs that don't just return data, but serve as high-fidelity maps for the next generation of autonomous agents.
