   Title:   Architectural Requirements for Supporting AI Agents on the Internet

Abstract:

   Autonomous AI agents are evolving from interactive assistants into
   networked software workloads that discover services, invoke tools,
   delegate authority, transact, communicate with other agents, and act
   asynchronously on behalf of humans and organizations.  Existing
   Internet protocols provide strong foundations, but agent autonomy,
   dynamic delegation, machine-speed execution, and cross-domain
   interaction create requirements that span multiple protocol families.

   This document describes architectural requirements for supporting AI
   agents on the Internet across naming and discovery, HTTP,
   authentication, authorization and delegation, TLS and workload
   identity, asynchronous messaging, capability and intent-based
   resolution, payments, provenance, auditability, revocation, security,
   and privacy.  It favors profiling and extending existing Internet
   protocols over defining a monolithic new agent protocol, and
   identifies the need for IETF-wide architectural coordination.
