[suwhang-cisco]

AGNTCY SLIM (Secure Low-Latency Interactive Messaging) provides the message data-plane for multi-agent systems, enabling both asynchronous and synchronous communication patterns with built-in security and scalability.

• Auto-registration: Agents bind to topics automatically via SDK conventions
• Security first: Built-in authentication, authorisation and end-to-end encryption
• Single-container footprint: No external broker or queue infrastructure needed
• Low-latency & scalable: Sub-millisecond performance with horizontal scaling
• Observability: Integrated metrics and tracing hooks for monitoring
• Multiple communication modes: Pub/Sub, RPC request-reply, fire-and-forget and streaming
