Draft 2026-W43

On 22 October 2026 the IETF's steering group approved the charter of DAWN (Discovery of Agents With Names). It will standardise only the first lookup of an AI agent's minimum public information, and excludes capability catalogues, internet-wide search and agent identity. One milestone is dated June 2027.

The project behind the Personal Agent Protocol published draft 0.2 on 24 October 2026 and says each 0.x version can break the one before. Draft 0.3 is already in progress with its own breaking changes. Do not build against it yet.

Google's open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK) version 2.13.0 added a classifier that routes agent workflows using TypeSafe's Jev model. Jev picks answers from fixed options instead of writing text, and is in early access. Its speed and price claims are the company's own.
