Publish an ai-catalog.json on your domain; agents discover and verify tools via federated registries using cryptographic identity tied to domain ownership.
Summary
Breaks tool registry silos across organizations—agents can now dynamically locate and trust capabilities at runtime without hardcoded integrations. Replaces fragmented custom registries with a portable, interoperable layer.

Implementation verdict
Ready to experiment now: specification is live, quickstart available, Apache 2.0 licensed. Requires hosting ai-catalog.json at a well-known path and supporting registry infrastructure. Production deployment depends on Gemini Agent Platform integration ("coming months"). Worth trying if you operate multi-org agent systems; low friction entry point.
