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, long and unpredictable
model-processing intervals, 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, transport and connection continuity, 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.
