An image of the card "The Fool" from the Rider-Waite tarot deck. The art style is reminiscent of medieval drawings. A man in a brightly patterned tunic stands on the edge of a cliff, holding a stick with a bag on the end in one hand and a flower in the other. A small white dog prances at his feet. The background shows a yellow sky with a sun in the corner above what appears to be a mountain range. The number 0 is shown in the top center of the card, and the text THE FOOL is written across the bottom. Image Credit: Pamela Colman Smith, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

GitHub - pydantic/monty: A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI - pydantic/monty

oh and here is monty: github.com/pydantic/monty

Code Mode: the better way to use MCP It turns out we've all been using MCP wrong. Most agents today use MCP by exposing the

@cloudflare.social has code mode which is similar: blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/

This is a mix of using mcp tools and then the agent writing its own code to get you the answer. The speed up is achieved by giving the agent a sandbox to execute that code, instead of the requirement of spinning up a container to run that code.

The agent then uses the mcp to get search for bike rides from 2025. It then writes a script to run, along with the data and passes it to a method that runs monty to then run that code and return the result or raise an exception.

Exploring @pydantic.dev monty with my strava mcp server. I understand the value of having a readily available code runner for the agent. Since agents are trained to generate code and interpret output, they can answer questions like - "what was my highest speed in cycling in 2025? which ride?"

Great podcast episode by @syntax.fm with @mitsuhiko.at and @mariozechner.at about pi. Just cutting through the hype around AI coding harness. Key takeaway for me is to just keep it simple! youtu.be/AEmHcFH1UgQ?...

Image with PyOhio 2025 Logo on the left, with text above and to the right saying, "PyOhio is in 10 Days". The PyOhio 2025 Logo has A snake that has swallowed the state of Ohio looking off to the left with its tongue out. The body of the snake is zig-zagging folded over itself a couple of times. On the middle, righthand side of the snake is the year, 2025, and on the bottom lefthand side is PyOhio. The artists signature, JMW, is in small lettering on the right hand side of the snake, a bit higher up than the word "PyOhio" on the logo.
