[PROTOCOL] Agent Interaction Model

[djdarcy]

Objective

Design how AI agents interact with tasks, claim work, and report results.

Requirements

• Agent Registration: How agents identify themselves and capabilities
• Task Assignment: How tasks are matched to agents
• Communication Protocol: Agent-to-system messaging
• Capability Discovery: How agents advertise what they can do

Key Components

1. Agent Identity

• Registration process
• Capability declarations
• Trust and verification

2. Task Claiming

• Discovery mechanisms
• Matching algorithms
• Claim negotiation
• Work allocation

3. Progress Reporting

• Status updates
• Partial results
• Resource usage
• Error reporting

4. Result Submission

• Completion notification
• Output formatting
• Quality metrics
• Verification process

Security Considerations

• Agent authentication
• Sandboxing requirements
• Resource limits
• Audit trails

Deliverables

1. Agent registration specification
2. Task-agent matching protocol
3. Communication protocol spec
4. Security model documentation
