It is possible to bake mochi without oil in the air fryer because mochi itself has oil, and during baking, mochi will secrete some of the oil, thus achieving the effect of frying or baking without oil. The flavor may be a bit more one-dimensional and not as flavorful as fried or grilled patties with oil.

Mochi should be made with a mixture of glutinous rice flour and eggs to make it tasty, and mochi is difficult to digest, so it's not recommended to eat too much of it.
