Cohere Labs released the Agentic Task Ecosystem (ATE) dataset, aggregating roughly 696,000 tools from 123,000 public MCP servers. The research finds that only 2.6% of tools can fully automate an occupational task, and nearly half of U.S. occupations have no agentic tools represented. The study provides a supply-side signal of what developers judge to be automatable, complementing existing exposure and usage data.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://cohere.com/blog/automations-early-footprint:

> We aggregated seven public directories of AI tools into a new dataset: the Agentic Task Ecosystem (ATE) , a corpus of roughly 696,000 published tools across 123,000 MCP servers , the largest open dataset of its kind.
