Why Every Agent Needs A Transmission Protocol

Overview of concept architecture The Multi-Agent Systems The most interesting feature of current agent ecosystems that should be explored is do your agents actually understand each other, or do they simply just share a corpus? They look like they do. Two agents pass JSON back and forth, one generates a plan, the other executes it, and the output lands in your inbox looking polished and intentional. But under the hood?

Writing a new prompt for each agent to understand their role and maintaining Agent cards becomes tedious. How do you maintain prompt intent across context windows and Agents without human overload. These are some of the problem we set out to solve when we built the Agentic Transmission Protocol ATP as the
