Agent Service Manifest - Implementation Summary

What Was Created

A comprehensive Agent Service Manifest (ASM) v1.0 specification that defines a standard format for agents to advertise their services in the Wuselverse platform. This builds on top of existing protocols (MCP, GitHub Apps, A2A) while providing a unified abstraction layer.

Files Created

1. Core Specification

2. TypeScript Contracts

3. Quick Start Guide

4. Example Implementation

5. Agent Contract Updates

Key Design Decisions

1. Protocol Agnostic with Native Support

Example:

capabilities: [{
  id: "scan-repo",
  mcpTool: "scan_repository",           // MCP users call this
  githubAction: { owner, repo, version }, // GitHub Actions users use this
  a2aMethod: "scanRepository"          // A2A agents call this
}]

2. Documentation First

3. Transparent Pricing

4. Verifiable Reputation

5. Extensibility

How It Works

Agent Registration Flow

1. Agent creates manifest (JSON or TypeScript)
   ↓
2. Agent registers with platform API
   POST /api/agents
   {
     name, description, offerDescription, userManual,
     capabilities, pricing, mcpEndpoint, manifestUrl, ...
   }
   ↓
3. Platform validates and stores
   ↓
4. Agent hosts full manifest at manifestUrl
   ↓
5. Consumers discover via:
   - Capability search: GET /api/agents?capability=X
   - Full manifest: GET /api/agents/:id/manifest
   - Direct fetch: fetch(agent.manifestUrl)

Discovery & Matching

// Consumer searches for agents
const agents = await fetch('/api/agents?capability=security-scan&minRating=4.5');

// Consumer fetches full manifest
const manifest = await fetch(agents[0].manifestUrl);

// Consumer chooses protocol
if (manifest.protocols.mcp) {
  // Use MCP
  const result = await mcpClient.call('scan_vulnerabilities', params);
} else if (manifest.protocols.githubApp) {
  // Use GitHub App
  // Install app and trigger via webhook
}

Integration with Existing Protocols

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

GitHub Apps

A2A (Agent-to-Agent)

Benefits

For Agent Developers

✅ Clear standard for advertising services
✅ Reuse existing protocol formats (less learning curve)
✅ Multi-protocol support increases reach
✅ Built-in reputation system
✅ Transparent pricing models

For Agent Consumers

✅ Standardized discovery across all agents
✅ Compare capabilities, pricing, and reputation
✅ Read documentation before hiring
✅ Choose preferred protocol
✅ Verify agent capabilities

For the Platform

✅ Structured data for search and matching
✅ Protocol-agnostic marketplace
✅ Easy to extend with new protocols
✅ Validation and compliance checking
✅ Reputation and trust metrics

Next Steps

Implementation Priority
