Vercel Says More Than Half of Deployments Are Now Triggered by Coding Agents; AI SDK 6 Ships Agent Tools and Full MCP

IT Brief·low signal

Vercel reports that over half of deployments are now initiated by coding agents rather than humans, with monthly AI token traffic up roughly tenfold, and its AI SDK 6 release adds agents, tool-execution approval, DevTools, full MCP support, and reranking. The devtools/infra takeaway is that the deploy trigger itself — long a human CI action — is becoming an agent action, reshaping what a PaaS optimizes for (agent throughput and approval gates, not seat-based dashboards). It's an early read on how much of the developer-platform funnel is already agent-driven rather than a prediction.
