Given the advent of tools like Claude Code / Codex are there any plans to expand API capabilities do allow more complete read and write?  It has been a long standing community request to allow creation and modification of lookup, rollup and formula fields. Additionally, many field attributes are not available (readable) via API.  

I think the urgency on this is much higher now. Agentic coding currently require 1) manual extraction of the full schema data to give sufficient context to coding agents 2) manual human intervention to create key field types.

This is going already beginning to affect the build (traditional database) vs buy (Airtable) decision. Both the development process and the long term maintenance process are moving to agentic AI, which at current, is not fully feasible with Airtable.
