Even a single dev can create a small tool, and, if agents need it, it could be called thousands of times a day across the network. Each use will mean revenue.
As more users rely on agents, those agents rely on modular tools to get work done. A protocol makes it possible for those tools to flow between agents, so builders don’t need to reinvent the wheel, they can plug into each other’s work and be rewarded for it.
3AS is how we get there.
