Partial window: history does not cover the whole month, movements are incomplete.
The directory's first edition, and a first assessment: 464 tools tracked, 29 of them added this month. Three trends stand out. Agents are moving into production: every major vendor now offers a development kit (Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, Strands, Microsoft Agent Framework) and a managed service (Bedrock AgentCore, Vertex AI Agent Engine). Skills keep multiplying, from design rules to business methods, including five French-language skills for CIOs and CISOs published by nAIvigate. Local tools keep gaining ground, with Meetily transcribing your meetings without going through the cloud. One to watch: Strix, an open-source penetration-testing agent, to be used on your own systems only. Rises and falls will appear from the October edition, the first one computed over a full month.
