The Impact of Configuring Agentic AI Coding Tools on Build-vs-Buy Decisions: A Study Protocol

Agentic AI coding tools write code with increasing autonomy and in doing so decide when to import a library and when to implement functionality from scratch. These decisions, whether to build functionality from scratch or buy into an external library, hereafter build-versus-buy, carry direct consequences for software security, licensing compliance, performance, and long-term maintainability.
