Abstract:

   Agent-tool protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enable
   AI applications to discover and invoke external tools, resources, and
   prompts through a standardized JSON-RPC interface.  As deployments
   scale, intermediaries (proxies, gateways, sidecars) are inserted
   between clients and servers to provide transport adaptation,
   capability aggregation, security enforcement, and operational
   governance.

   No specification currently defines the behavioral requirements for
   such intermediaries.  This document establishes a taxonomy of proxy
   modes, a layered architecture for pluggable proxy functionality, and
   normative requirements for each mode.  It is designed to be protocol-
   agnostic in its architecture while referencing MCP as the primary
   instantiation.
