Why it matters
Panelists span identity, payments, and orchestration vendors whose products directly gate how agents authenticate, get billed for usage, and run reliably — all cost and control-plane concerns.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Den Delimarsky, a core maintainer of MCP at Anthropic, is on the panel — MCP is the protocol layer teams use to scope what tools and context an agent can reach, a direct lever on token spend.
