AGTP Composition with Agent Group Messaging Protocols
Agent Group Messaging Protocols (AGMPs) -- including the Model
Context Protocol (MCP), the Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A), and the
Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) -- define what AI agents say to
each other. The Agent Transfer Protocol (AGTP) defines how those
messages move across a network. This document specifies how AGMP
messages are carried over AGTP as a transport substrate, providing
normative mapping rules for identity, authority scope, delegation,
and session fields between the AGMP and AGTP layers. AGTP headers
take precedence over equivalent AGMP payload fields for all
infrastructure-level routing, enforcement, and audit operations.
Agents gain transport-level governance, observability, and identity
without modification to the AGMP layer.
