Agent Auth Protocol is a specification-oriented project within the Better Auth ecosystem that defines a structured protocol for authentication between applications and autonomous agents. It is designed to standardize how AI agents and services securely authenticate, communicate, and manage identity within modern software systems. Built alongside the broader Better Auth framework, it integrates with a comprehensive authentication system that supports features like OAuth, multi-factor authentication, and session management. The protocol focuses on enabling secure interactions in environments where automated agents act on behalf of users or systems, requiring robust identity verification and permission handling. It aligns with modern authentication standards and is intended to work seamlessly with APIs, distributed systems, and AI-driven workflows.
