Agent Protocol
Domain: Agent Architectures
🎯 Motivation
The rules and formats agents use to communicate - message structure, response formats, error handling.
📋 Concrete Example
Protocol: messages are JSON with {from, to, type, content, timestamp}. Type can be request, response, status, error. All agents follow this protocol for reliable communication.
🔗 Analogy
Radio communication protocols - over means I am done speaking, copy means I understood, ‘stand by’ means wait. Everyone follows these rules. Agent protocols are the communication rules for AI agents.
