DigitalOcean gives agents 16,000 tools

DigitalOcean launched Managed Agents in public preview with isolated microVM sessions, a governed MCP gateway to more than 16,000 tools from 500+ providers, and serverless inference across 75+ models. The launch announcement says active CPU bills at $0.044 per vCPU-hour and memory at $0.0095 per GB-hour, while its Managed Agents product page says paused sessions stop CPU and memory charges and resume in about 200 milliseconds. For teams building their own agent glue, this makes managed execution a concrete price-and-control comparison; test workload isolation and approval flows before replacing stateless MCP infrastructure.
