New ERDL rules layer proposed for A2A agent protocol

A proposal for a new rules layer, ERDL (Entity-Rule Definition Language), has been introduced to enhance the A2A agent communication protocol. This layer aims to provide deterministic enforcement of agent behavior, moving beyond prompt-based suggestions to prevent agents from executing forbidden actions. ERDL operates by evaluating a declarative rules standard, typically in YAML format, before an agent interacts with tools or other agents, ensuring compliance with defined policies. AI

IMPACT Enhances agent safety and compliance by introducing deterministic rule enforcement, moving beyond prompt-based controls.

RANK_REASON Proposal for a new rules layer to an existing agent communication protocol.
