Protocol flows
Protocol flows
The Concepts pages explain the objects; the Architecture pages explain the components. These pages put them in motion: the actual sequences of messages that register an agent, mint a token, follow a workflow, and carry a delegation across agents.
They’re the readable companion to the wire-level flows in the protocol draft. Read them once and the rest of the docs fits together as a system.
- 1Registration→
How a client, its agents, and their workflows enter the Authority. This one-time step establishes the identities everything else checks against.
- 2Token minting→
The request-time sequence: the runtime asks for an intent token, the Authority validates and mints, the token is attached and verified at the resource.
- 3Workflow tracking→
How the runtime follows a multi-step plan as it executes, tracking the step sequence and delegation so each mint reflects where the run actually is.
- 4Multi-agent delegation→
The full path when a supervisor delegates to workers: each hop mints against its own grant, and the chain is carried and checked end to end.
