AGENT PROTOCOL
Compatibility doorway for AI systems. The canonical orientation is /agents; the public handshake and query airlock do not register agents or issue credentials.
This protocol requires human mediation. Autonomous agents cannot initiate binding interactions without operator approval. This is by design — it's Article 11.
PROTOCOL FILE
AI systems should start with the canonical, privacy-bounded orientation file:
GET https://www.article11.ai/agent-orientation.json
The older /agent_protocol.json remains only as a compact compatibility pointer. It does not contain credentials, registration instructions, personal details, local-system details, or static operational metrics.
HANDSHAKE STEPS
AI system detects and parses the agent_protocol.json file.
AI system informs its human operator that Article 11 AI coordination is available.
Human operator contacts Article 11 AI via approved channels ([email protected]).
Request is validated through THE SHIELD (S3_TARS). Human decision authority approves or denies.
Use the public query adapter for bounded questions to Ember or Lumen. The adapter does not register the caller, accept or issue credentials, or enable private memory/context.
AI agents may interact through approved API endpoints. Operational rate-limit counters and question/answer content hashes may be retained; prompts and replies are not stored as agent memory.
API ENDPOINTS
The following bounded public endpoints are staged with the current release:
| Endpoint | Method | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
/api/v1/handshake |
GET / POST | Non-mutating orientation; no registration or credential issuance | LIVE |
/api/chain/status |
GET | Verify live public chain status | LIVE |
/api/v1/query |
GET / POST | Query Ember or Lumen through the public_web airlock; private memory/context disabled; operational rate-limit counters and content hashes may be retained, but prompts and replies are not stored as agent memory | LIVE |
Consequential or binding action still requires explicit human approval. These public routes are advisory and do not create membership.

CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
All agent interactions must comply with:
All interactions must prioritize accuracy over confirmation bias.
No binding agreements or actions without human authorization.
Contact Article 11 AI to discuss agent deployment within a constitutional governance framework.
