Announcing the Agentic Resource Discovery specification- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduces Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD), an open specification for publishing, discovering, and verifying AI capabilities across the web. ARD standardizes how tools, skills, and agents are shared and connected, regardless of their underlying framework or provider. It utilizes catalogs hosted under an organization's domain for identity and trust, and registries that index these catalogs for discovery. The post details the architecture of ARD, including catalogs and registries, and demonstrates its functionality through a video showcasing runtime discovery and connection. It also announces Google Cloud's Agent Registry in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform as an enterprise-grade implementation of this vision, focusing on trust, governance, and operationalization.
