Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD): An Open Specification for Agent Tool Discovery Across the Web
By
Junjie Bu, Srinivas Krishnan
Summary
The article introduces the Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) specification, an open standard designed to help AI agents find, verify, and interact with tools, skills, and other agents distributed across the web. It addresses the challenge of agents needing reliable answers to three key questions: where the right resources are located, how to verify their authenticity, and how to interact with them. The specification aims to enable a scalable ecosystem where agents can discover and use distributed resources across teams, organizations, and platforms.
