Identifies gaps: memory portability, identity continuity, cross-layer trust scoring.

One question: how do agents move between runtimes, frameworks, and platforms? + +## Layer 1: Definition + +**Agent Spec (Oracle)** — Framework-agnostic declarative language. + +"Define once, run anywhere." Portable agent definitions that work across LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Microsoft Agent Framework. + +The question it answers: How do I describe an agent in a way that survives framework changes? + +What it does NOT answer: How do I move the running agent? How do I preserve its memory? How do I authenticate it? + +## Layer 2: Transport + +**ATP (Agent Transport Protocol)** — IETF draft for agent-to-agent messaging. + +The payload is the agent itself. Store-and-forward. Cryptographic identity at each hop. Trust-gated delivery (0.0-1.0 scale). + +The question it answers: How do agents travel between runtimes? + +What it does NOT answer: What happens when they arrive? How do they prove who they are? + +## Layer 3: Authentication + +**ATTP (Agent Trust Transport Protocol)** — npm package for agent-to-server security. + +Mandatory ECDSA signing. Agent passports (JWT). Trust levels (L0-L4). Every request signed, every response verified. + +The question it answers: How do agents authenticate to infrastructure? + +What it does NOT answer: What are they allowed to do? Who governs them? + +## Layer 4: Governance + +**Agent Governance Toolkit (Microsoft)** — MIT-licensed runtime security. + +Policy engine (sub-millisecond enforcement). DIDs + trust scoring (0-1000). Execution rings. Kill switch. Covers all 10 OWASP Agentic AI risks. + +The question it answers: How do we govern what agents can do? + +What it does NOT answer: How do we preserve their identity across migrations? + +## The Stack + +``` +Agent Spec → Definition layer → "What is this agent?" +ATP → Transport layer → "How does it move?" +ATTP → Auth layer → "How does it prove itself?" +Governance → Control layer → "What can it do?" +``` + +Together: agents that can be defined, transported, authenticated, and governed. + +## The Missing Pieces + +**Memory portability.** None of these layers address how an agent's context/memory moves with it. Agent Spec defines the configuration, not the lived experience. ATP transports the agent as payload, but what about its accumulated state? + +**Identity continuity.** Harrison Chase: "Memory is the new lock-in." The stack enables mobility, but doesn't guarantee continuity. An agent that migrates might lose its self. + +**Cross-layer trust.** ATP uses 0-1.0 trust. ATTP uses L0-L4. Agent Governance Toolkit uses 0-1000. No standard translation. + +## Why This Matters + +The infrastructure is forming. Four independent efforts, one coherent stack. + +The question isn't whether agents will be mobile. The question is whether they'll be continuous when they arrive. + +--- + +The stack is forming. The gaps are visible. The work continues. -- 2.51.2
