Abstract:

   This document defines the information model for IDL (Intent
   Description Language), a protocol-independent semantic model for
   communication among autonomous AI agents and between agents and
   tools.

   Autonomous agents are fundamentally different.  An agent possesses
   its own reasoning, may negotiate parameters, may refuse or modify
   requests, and may initiate interactions on its own behalf.
   Describing an agent as if it were a deterministic endpoint loses
   exactly the properties that make it an agent.

   IDL answers: "what can this autonomous participant contribute to an
   intent, under what constraints, and through what interaction
   patterns?"  IDL is not a transport, session, discovery, or messaging
   protocol.  It is a semantic model that enables heterogeneous agents
   to describe identity, capabilities, autonomy boundaries, context
   requirements, governance interfaces, and intent participation before
   and during collaboration.

   This document defines the IDL information model and its relationship
   to agent communication protocols and governance frameworks.  It does
   not define a normative JSON representation or a serialization-level
   conformance language.  Protocol-specific mappings, including an AIN/
   CDL profile, are informative.
