Manifest Discovery Model

Agent runtimes discover manifests through well-known URLs or service registries.

Discovery Mechanisms​

Well-Known URL​

https://example.com/.well-known/axag-manifest.json

HTTP Header​

Link: </.well-known/axag-manifest.json>; rel="axag-manifest"

Meta Tag​

<meta name="axag-manifest" content="/axag-manifest.json" />

Service Registry​

For microservice architectures, manifests can be registered in a central manifest registry.

Discovery Flow​

  1. Agent navigates to a domain
  2. Agent checks for well-known URL, HTTP header, or meta tag
  3. Agent fetches the manifest
  4. Agent indexes available operations
  5. Agent generates or consumes tool definitions
