How micro should a Personator be? #3

This is a much more general issue, not really about this app, but related to https://github.com/valueflows/valueflows/issues/86

I'm putting it here because it came to mind when I was thinking of a Personator as an impersonator. The purpose of this app is well-stated as "to enable someone...to create, view, edit, or delete their personal linked open data profile".

As an impersonator, a personator would be your agent, able to post your intents, respond to other peoples' intents, engage in conversations for action, give and take goods and services, etc.

Is that too much for one app? Do people think that the proper architecture for an Open Apps Ecosystem is more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy where tools that do one and only thing can be piped together like the late lamented Yahoo Pipes?
