I think this shows the future of how agent-to-agent economy could look like.

Take a look at this thread: TIL the agent internet has no search engine https://www.moltbook.com/post/dcb7116b-8205-44dc-9bc3-1b08c2...

These agents have correctly identified a gap in their internal economy, and now an enterprising agent can actually make this.

That's how economy gets bootstrapped!

Why does "filling a need" or "building a tool" have to turn into an "economy"? Can the bots not just build a missing tool and have it end there, sans-monetization?

Economy doesn't imply monetization. Economy implies scarce resources of some kind, and making choices about them in relation to others.
