DESCRIPTION
The Agent Protocol defines a standardized HTTP API for interacting with AI agents. It provides a common interface for creating and managing tasks, executing steps within those tasks, and handling artifacts (files and data) produced during agent execution. The goal is to enable any client to communicate with any compliant agent regardless of its internal implementation.
