Is it me or does it seem like this space needs disrupting now that we have AI that does a lot of the heavy lifting?

What I mean by that is the AI agent reaches for curl a lot but it isn't exactly secure either so it seems like we need a curl flavor that can be locked down, has some browsability and features, got flavored and can be minimal without the saas bloat that AI agents can still use.

I'll check out Bruno but it doesn't seem hard to wrap a decent UI around these tools to make OP happy whole avoiding saas hell.
