How structural iron and steel workers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 5% of Structural Iron and Steel Workers is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The grounding signals overwhelmingly indicate physical labor. The majority of tools fall into physical segments like 27 (general machinery) and 46 (safety), despite minor use of scheduling software (segment 43). Top work activities are intensely physical, including Handling and Moving Objects (4.39) and Performing General Physical Activities (4.16). Work context scores cement this with universal requirements for protective equipment (5.00), outdoor weather exposure (4.80), and working in high places (4.66).

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Structural Iron and Steel Workers uses 83 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+71 more via usesTool
Structural Iron and Steel Workers relies on 11 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
The software Structural Iron and Steel Workers reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
