Developers and platform architects building AI-driven commerce experiences who need a protocol for secure, interoperable agent-initiated purchasing and payment flows
About Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)
The UCP and AP2 documentation describes how the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) integrates with the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) to support secure, verifiable transactions initiated by AI agents or platforms on behalf of users, making it possible for commerce systems to handle discovery, checkout, and payment without intermediaries. UCP is fully compatible with AP2, which acts as the trust layer for agent-led transactions by requiring a secure, cryptographically verifiable exchange of intent and authorization between platforms and businesses using Verifiable Digital Credentials (VDCs); this ensures businesses receive signed checkout commitments that can’t be altered mid-flow and platforms issue proofs of payment authorization tied specifically to a cart state, reducing fraud and making transactions final and authentic.

AgentWorks
AgentWorks is a comprehensive suite designed to enable autonomous AI agents to operate across enterprise boundaries, interact securely, and conduct transactions independently. It brings together core components including Agent ID, which provides identity, verification, authentication and authorization for AI agents; AgentRegistry, which supports registration, discovery and Know-Your-Agent (KYA) verification; AgentTalk, a patented protocol for secure agent-to-agent communication and transactions; AgentConnect, enabling agents to connect to websites, metaverses and digital ecosystems; AgentWallet, a wallet infrastructure where agents can store their Agent ID, digital assets and currencies (available both as a mobile wallet for human owners and an embedded wallet managed by agents themselves); and AgentWizard, a tool for assigning unique Agent IDs, registering agents and provisioning wallets. AgentWorks supports agent-to-agent transactions in real-world use cases.

Agent Payments Protocol (AP2)
Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) is an open protocol designed together with over 60 payments, fintech, and tech companies (e.g., Mastercard, PayPal, Adyen, Coinbase, Etsy) to enable secure, agent-led transactions across platforms. It builds on earlier open standards like Agent2Agent (A2A) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to ensure that when an AI agent initiates or completes a payment on behalf of a user, three core requirements are met: authorization (proving the user explicitly gave permission for that specific purchase), authenticity (ensuring the agent’s intended purchase matches what the user meant), and accountability (clear audit trails and responsibility in case of errors or fraud). The protocol uses mandates, which are cryptographically signed digital contracts backed by verifiable credentials.
