This project defines a common interface for interacting with AI agents, aiming to solve the fragmentation in the AI agent development space. It provides a standardized REST API specification (OpenAPI) and SDKs for agent developers and users, enabling easier communication, comparison, and tool development across different agent frameworks.

How It Works

The Agent Protocol is an API specification, primarily a REST API defined in OpenAPI, that agents can implement. It mandates specific endpoints like POST /ap/v1/agent/tasks for task creation and POST /ap/v1/agent/tasks/{task_id}/steps for step execution. This approach is tech-stack agnostic, allowing any agent framework to adopt it, thereby fostering ecosystem growth and simplifying integrations by reducing boilerplate API code for developers.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: The README directs users to the SDK folder for implementation details.
• Prerequisites: No specific framework or version requirements are listed, but it's designed to be framework-agnostic.
• Resources: Setup time and resource footprint are not specified.
• Links: 📚 Docs, 🧾 Summary, RFC template.

Highlighted Details

• OpenAPI specification for a standardized REST API.
• SDKs available for both agent developers and agent users.
• Adopted by projects like Auto-GPT, Auto-GPT-Forge, and smol developer.
• Future roadmap includes agent-to-agent communication and third-party service integration.

Maintenance & Community

• Maintained by AGI, Inc.
• Community engagement is encouraged via PRs, issues, and Discord channels (AIEF, Auto-GPT, e2b).
• Links: AIEF Discord, Auto-GPT Discord, e2b Discord.

Licensing & Compatibility

• The README does not explicitly state a license.

Limitations & Caveats

The project is in its early stages, with some integrations marked as "in development" or "waiting for merge," indicating potential incompleteness or ongoing changes. The lack of an explicit license is a significant caveat for adoption.
