Why AI Coding Agents Break APIs (And How BitDive Restores Their Vision via MCP)
· 6 min read
TL;DR: AI coding agents are incredibly powerful at reading and writing source code, but when it comes to understanding what code actually does at runtime, they are blind. They can read `repository.findAll()` in the source code, but they cannot see the 40-query N+1 explosion it causes in production. This post explores how AI routinely breaks APIs and how connecting agents to runtime context and before/after trace comparison through BitDive and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) dramatically improves their reliability.
