CAP Cordum Agent Protocol

The Cordum Agent Protocol (CAP) is the open infrastructure standard for the Agentic Era. It is a high-performance, language-agnostic wire protocol designed to connect, manage, and govern autonomous AI agents at scale.

Built on NATS (messaging) and Redis (state), CAP replaces fragile point-to-point API integrations with a robust, event-driven backbone. It decouples agent logic from governance, enabling a "Zero-Copy" architecture where sensitive data remains local while only secure pointers travel the wire. This allows enterprises to enforce policy guardrails across heterogeneous fleets (Python, Go, Node.js) without modifying agent code.

Core Capabilities:

Universal Interoperability:
- Connect agents written in any language via a unified standard.

Safety Kernel:
- Deterministic validation of every agent action before execution.

Ultra-Low Latency:
- Optimized for high-throughput agent swarms.

Auditability:
- Immutable tracing of all agent communications.
