APIs let agents connect.
AIP defines how they act.

A shared pattern for identity, authority, approval, task state and audit—built on the web technologies teams already use.

02 / Core principlesControl + accountability
01

Identity-bound

Every action connects an agent to the person or organization it represents.

02

Permissioned

Capabilities and constraints are explicit, narrow and machine-readable.

03

Approval-aware

Sensitive tasks can pause before execution for a clear human decision.

04

Auditable

Structured events explain who acted, under which policy and when.

03 / From intent to evidenceOne visible lifecycle

  2. 02Identify

  6. 06Audit

AIP complements HTTP, OAuth, MCP, A2A and REST. It is an experimental draft—not an established standard or a replacement for existing infrastructure.
