AI coding agents are increasingly integrated into software development workflows. However, most coding agent studies rely on benchmarks similar to SWE-bench, which assume autonomous agents operating in a single trajectory. This assumption does not mirror real-world usage, where developers interactively collaborate with agents. We address this gap by studying human-in-the-loop agent trajectories in the wild, focusing on 7,581 Copilot-authored PRs with publicly accessible session data.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how large language model applications communicate with external tools, but leaves the application side unspecified: unlike traditional dependencies resolved through package managers, developers integrating MCP servers face no conventions for configuration, communication, or human oversight. This ecosystem is also under-researched, with existing work focused on servers rather than the applications consuming them.
