AGP Whitepaper v0.9.2 — Public Review Draft

AGP Whitepaper v0.9.2

This is the first licensed public review draft of the Agent Governance Protocol whitepaper.

AGP is an experimental proposal for a deterministic and independently auditable governance layer for bounded, consequential multi-agent decisions.

This release is not a production standard and has not received independent security review.

What this draft includes

• the governance problem in multi-agent systems;
• AGP architecture and design goals;
• deterministic resolution;
• authority, replacement, revocation, and replay semantics;
• cryptographic verification;
• transparency and auditability;
• threat model;
• conformance testing;
• experimental benchmark results;
• limitations and future work;
• comparison with workflows, policy engines, event sourcing, and existing agent protocols.

Technical review requested

Review is particularly requested on:

• novelty and relationship to existing systems;
• canonicalization and deterministic resolution;
• authority, replacement, and revocation semantics;
• transparency, availability, and split-view assumptions;
• benchmark methodology;
• the boundary between AGP and existing policy/workflow components.
