Basic Information

This repository contains the Universal Agent Protocols (UAP) specification and supporting materials for designing and operating distributed multi-agent systems. It provides three complementary protocol specifications: the Universal Agent Communication Protocol (UACP) for standardized messaging, the Universal Agent Discovery Protocol (UADP) for decentralized agent discovery and registration, and the Universal Agent Coordination Protocol (UACO) for negotiation, commitment and group task coordination. The README functions as a white paper and implementation guide with message schemas, detailed examples of request/response, notifications and task delegation flows, system and sequence diagrams, and an appendix of enumerations and glossary terms. It also documents scalability, fault tolerance, security considerations, error handling and implementation guidance to help architects and developers adopt a consistent approach to agent interoperability and system design.

App Details

Features
Clear, structured protocol specifications for multi-agent interaction including a standard message header and payload schema with fields for IDs, timestamps, types, authentication, signatures, content types and priority. Support for multiple interaction patterns such as request-response, notifications and task delegation. A decentralized discovery model with capability-based searches, dynamic registration and load advertising. Coordination primitives for negotiation, counteroffers, commitment messages, group coordination and conflict resolution. Operational guidance covering distributed store architecture (DHT), sequence and flow diagrams, enumerations, JSON schemas for validation, versioning and extensibility, and security measures like mTLS, JWTs, signatures, RBAC and replay protections. Error handling includes standardized error codes, retry strategies and fallback procedures.
Use Cases
The spec helps developers and system designers build interoperable agents that can find one another, negotiate work, and coordinate distributed tasks at scale. By following the message schemas and interaction patterns implementers can ensure consistent communication, link requests and responses via correlation IDs, and use discovery criteria to select agents by capability and current load. Security guidance and integrity mechanisms enable safer deployments. Example exchanges, diagrams and appendices reduce integration ambiguity and accelerate testing, monitoring and compliance. Operational recommendations on decentralization, DHT-based storage, asynchronous messaging, retry and circuit breaker strategies support resilient deployments. Versioning and extensibility guidance make it easier to evolve implementations without breaking compatibility.
