Interesting idea.

Credential helpers may know which URL needed authentication before,
but that is not per operation.  I wonder if it is sufficient as the
zeroth approximation to always try authenticated access if helpers
have any auth material to the URL regardless of the operation?

There needs a way to force unautheticated access if we were to do
anything of that sort, of course.
