The Natural Language Interaction Protocol and Standard for AI Agents
Read the original on arXiv AI →The paper introduces the Natural Language Interaction Protocol (NLIP), a standards‑based application‑layer protocol designed to enable AI agents built on diverse frameworks and tools to communicate seamlessly. NLIP offers a lightweight semantic message envelope that can be transmitted over common transports such as HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, and AMQP, and includes mechanisms for adapting between clients, agents, local context stores, ontologies, tools, and enterprise services. The authors discuss the protocol’s design rationale, security considerations, reference implementation, representative applications, adoption signals, and its relationship to other emerging agent protocols like MCP and A2A.
