Product & Strategy

Agent Protocols and Interoperability

How shared conventions can connect models to tools, context, services, and other agents without erasing trust boundaries.

Protocols reduce custom glue

Standard discovery and message formats can make tools or context providers reusable across agent hosts. This shifts integration work from bespoke adapters toward explicit contracts.

Compatibility is not trust

A component speaking the same protocol is not automatically safe or authorized. Identity, consent, permissions, validation, and audit still belong to the application.

Design portable boundaries

Keep domain actions and data contracts independent of one model vendor or framework. Portability makes it easier to adopt useful standards without surrendering control of product behavior.
