Overview of AI Agent Protocols
summary
Overview lists concrete protocols, origins, and what actually runs: Anthropic MCP uses an LLM to select and call external servers and supports human approval; Google A2A exposes public JSON agent cards and task IDs with server‑sent events; IBM ACP uses signed capability tokens and REST endpoints plus Langraph and MCP for cloud calls; Cisco SLIM runs gRPC over HTTP/2 with TLS and optional MLS; A&P uses JSON‑LD DIDs; Agora generates protocols from natural language. Notes real deployments in EHR hospice work, HIPAA concerns, and early‑stage scalability risks.
