Maybe add --something to make your output agent-friendly then? MCP adds a lot of token overhead and is not pipeable, that is, you can't do mcpserver1 | something without the tokens first passing into the context window of the agent (if you use a subagent it's the same thing - you are still spending the tokens)

I think I can understand what you want, and the dev’s response about deterministic output is something I really appreciate. I don’t think I want an agent going and mucking around in git _at all_, and if it is going to, I’d prefer some level of predictability imo.
