Agent Interoperability Protocol Models (AIPM)

Vision

AIPM is the first open ecosystem for interoperable AI agents, enabling agents from different vendors (OpenAI, Claude, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, etc.) to communicate securely and consistently using the same protocol.

Architecture Overview

Core Protocol Components

Identity Layer - Agent identification and capabilities
Capability Discovery - Automatic discovery of skills and tools
Secure Handshake - TLS-inspired connection establishment
Task Negotiation - Accept/decline work based on capability
Memory Exchange - Efficient context sharing
Trust Layer - Reputation and reliability tracking
Skill Marketplace - Dynamic capability discovery
Workflow Delegation - Hierarchical task orchestration
Economic Layer - API billing and micropayments
Standard Message Format - JSON-based protocol

Quick Start

Installation

cd sdk-python
pip install -e .

Basic Usage

from aipm import AIPMAgent, AgentIdentity, Capabilities

# Create agent identity
identity = AgentIdentity(
    agent_id="my-agent-001",
    organization_id="my-org",
    name="My AI Agent",
    version="1.0.0",
    capabilities=Capabilities(
        skills=["text-generation", "code-review"],
        models=["gpt-4"],
        tools=["code-interpreter"],
    )
)

# Initialize agent
agent = AIPMAgent(identity)

# Initiate handshake with another agent
peer = AgentReference(
    agent_id="peer-agent-001",
    organization_id="peer-org"
)
hello_msg = agent.initiate_handshake(peer)

Run Example

See examples/basic_handshake.py for a complete handshake between OpenAI and LangGraph agents:

cd examples
python basic_handshake.py

Current Status
