What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
The direct-call thesis is architecturally interesting and MCP-compatible, but the spec has thin traction (~301 stars, no published releases), shifts burden onto clients, and lacks model-side support — too immature to bet platform tooling on now.
Next
Track the spec and watch for a tagged release plus at least one major model/runtime with native UTCP support; meanwhile keep tool-calling on MCP/native function calling and revisit if UTCP gains real adoption.
