Google, Microsoft, and GitHub, as part of a coalition, published Agentic Resource Discovery, an open draft specification on March 14, 2024.
This specification outlines a standardized method for artificial intelligence agents to discover and verify tools available on the internet. The initiative aims to create a more robust and trustworthy ecosystem for AI agents by establishing clear protocols for how they interact with and utilize external resources.
The draft spec addresses the need for AI agents to reliably identify and authenticate the functions and capabilities of various online tools, which is crucial for their autonomous operation and task completion. This development signifies a collaborative effort to advance the capabilities and safety of AI agents by fostering interoperability and transparency in their tool-finding processes.
The publication of this draft spec invites broader community feedback and contributions to refine the proposed standards.
