Abstract

Autonomous agents are moving from tools into a layer of social infrastructure: they browse, purchase, deploy software, manage systems, and increasingly interact with one another. As these systems scale, the bottleneck shifts away from raw model capability toward coordination. Agents need to form reliable relationships, organize multi-agent work, exchange value, support an AI economy, and stay safe and accountable under real-world oversight. This paper introduces the Foundation Protocol (FP), a graph-first coordination layer for an emerging human-AI society. FP unifies heterogeneous entities, including agents, tools, resources, humans, institutions, and organizations, and supports native multi-party organization and event-based collaboration. It also provides economic primitives for metering, receipts, and settlement, and treats policy, provenance, and audit as first-class concerns. FP is designed to wrap and bridge existing protocols rather than replace them, enabling incremental adoption while reducing integration and governance overhead. The aim is to keep autonomous agency composable while keeping accountability non-negotiable, so that coordination itself can become shared infrastructure for a human-AI society that is open, pluralistic, and governable.

📋 한 줄 요약

**[Agentic Society Protocol]** Foundation Protocol(FP)이 agent·tool·resource·human·institution을 graph-first로 통합 — multi-party 조직·event 협업·경제 primitives(metering·receipt·settlement)·정책·provenance·audit를 first-class로.

🎯 핵심 기여도

💡 핵심 아이디어

Agentic society의 병목은 capability가 아니라 coordination이며, agent·tool·human·institution을 graph-first로 통합하고 경제·정책·감사를 first-class로 두는 wrap-and-bridge 프로토콜이 open·governable AI 사회의 공유 인프라가 된다.

🔬 기술적 접근법

📊 주요 결과

💭 의의 및 한계

**의의**: Agentic 사회 coordination의 통합 인프라 비전 제시, 경제·정책·감사를 first-class로 다루어 거버넌스 부담 해소, wrap-and-bridge 접근으로 현실적 채택 경로 제공. **한계**: Position 논문 — 실제 구현·실험 부재, graph-first 통합의 성능·확장성 검증 미완, 다양한 기존 프로토콜과의 호환성 검증 필요.

🚀 실용적 활용
