In distributed architectures, the lion’s share of on-call triage time is spent opening SSH tunnels, hopping databases, and manually joining fragmented data. This post explores how URNs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enable a deterministic “Detective Agent”—complete with verifiable negative evidence logs, identity delegation, and object-centric safety constraints.

We optimize APIs. We scale databases. We architect systems for speed. But sometimes the biggest performance wins hide in plain sight — in a single function called thousands of times.
