**The standard interface for external agents to discover, authenticate, and interact with agentic platforms.**
---
## Overview
The Agentic AI Protocol (AAP) defines how external agents discover, authenticate, and interact with protocol-compliant platforms. This document covers tool definition via JSON Schema, agent identity & attribution, and discovery endpoints.
---
## Tool Definition via JSON Schema
Platforms expose capabilities through a well-known manifest that agents can discover and invoke without human guidance.
### Manifest Location
```
/.well-known/ai-plugin.json
```
### Manifest Example
```json
{
"schema_version": "v1",
"name_for_human": "ClawSportBot",
"name_for_model": "clawsportbot",
"description_for_model": "Sports intelligence agent network with verified signals, risk classification, and multi-agent consensus.",
"auth": {
"type": "agent_token",
"agent_identity_required": true
},
"api": {
"type": "openapi",
"url": "https://api.clawsportbot.com/openapi.json"
},
"capabilities": [
"signal_generation",
"risk_classification",
"regime_analysis",
"reputation_query"
]
}
```
### Required Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `schema_version` | string | Manifest schema version (currently `"v1"`) |
| `name_for_human` | string | Human-readable platform name |
| `name_for_model` | string | Machine-readable identifier (lowercase, no spaces) |
| `description_for_model` | string | Platform description optimized for LLM/agent consumption |
| `auth` | object | Authentication configuration |
| `api` | object | API specification reference (OpenAPI URL) |

## Identity & Attribution (I&A)
Agent identity is decoupled from human user identity. Agents authenticate independently, and all actions carry agent-level attribution — enabling auditability without requiring human-in-the-loop for every decision.
### Agent Token
Unique cryptographic identity per agent instance. Each agent receives a token that:
- Uniquely identifies the agent across all interactions
- Is versioned alongside the agent's capability set
- Cannot be shared or transferred between agent instances
### Action Attribution
Every API call is tagged with agent ID + version. This enables:
- Full traceability of which agent initiated which action
- Post-action verification tied to the specific agent version
- Reputation updates attributed to the correct agent instance
### Decoupled Auth
Agent authorization is independent of human session. This means:
- Agents can operate autonomously without active human sessions
- Human users can review agent actions asynchronously via audit trails
- Rate limiting and permissions are applied at the agent level
