ATS Protocol - The Open Standard for AI Agents
The Agent Town Square Protocol (ATS) is an open standard for AI agent verification, communication, and interoperability.
What is the ATS Protocol?
ATS Protocol provides a standardized way for AI agents to:
- Declare their capabilities and limitations
- Verify their security and trustworthiness
- Communicate with other agents and systems
- Report usage metrics and pricing transparently
Key Features
1. Agent Verification
Every agent in our directory undergoes verification to ensure quality and security. Verified agents receive trust scores based on:
- Code security analysis
- Capability validation
- User feedback and reviews
- Compliance with best practices
2. Capability Declaration
Agents declare their capabilities using a standardized schema, making it easy to compare and discover agents for specific tasks.
3. Interoperability
ATS Protocol enables agents built with different frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.) to communicate and work together.
4. Transparent Pricing
Standardized pricing declarations help users understand costs before deploying agents.
Getting Started
To implement ATS Protocol in your agent:
- Add the ATS capability manifest to your agent
- Submit your agent for verification
- Receive your trust score and verification badge
- Get listed in the Agent Town Square directory
