What is Currents?

Currents opens every project on a health verdict: trend, state, and what to fix first.

Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. Since September it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments and a trace API built for agents. The Oct 19 Project Overview adds a human-facing counterpart: projects now open on a page saying whether the suite is healthy, which way it is trending, and what to fix first.

What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

Currents opens every project on a health verdict: trend, state, and what to fix first.

◆ Current state

Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. Since September it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments and a trace API built for agents. The Oct 19 Project Overview adds a human-facing counterpart: projects now open on a page saying whether the suite is healthy, which way it is trending, and what to fix first.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is converging on triage as its core job, for both audiences. Agents get granular paths into failures, traces and logs; humans get a prioritized summary instead of raw run lists. Both point at the same promise: Currents decides what to look at, not just stores results.

◆ Prediction

Likely next is linking Overview's fix-first items to the agent surfaces, so a prioritized problem can be handed straight to an MCP or trace-API session. The entries don't yet show that connection.

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
