​
Overview

The Agent Triage Protocol (ATP) is a standardized communication system designed to enable AI services to notify users of important events, request user input, and receive responses in a consistent, secure manner.

​
Problem It Solves

Today’s AI agents and services operate in isolation with no standardized way to:
  • Alert users about completed tasks or important updates
  • Request additional input after initial user prompts
  • Handle asynchronous workflows that extend beyond the initial interaction
ATP solves these problems by providing a unified protocol for agent-to-user notifications across different platforms and applications.

​
Core Concepts

ATP is built around these fundamental concepts:
  • Notifications: Structured messages sent from AI services to users
  • Responses: User feedback to notifications, which may include simple actions or complex inputs
  • Services: AI systems or applications that generate notifications
  • Clients: Applications that display notifications to end users and collect responses
  • Protocol Server: The intermediary system that securely routes messages between services and clients

​
Use Cases

ATP enables numerous advanced AI workflows, including:
  • Long-running data analysis tasks that notify users upon completion
  • AI agents that can ask clarifying questions hours or days after initial prompts
  • Multi-step workflows where AI services can prompt for additional information as needed
  • Alert systems for monitoring AI-powered processes
  • Collaborative AI assistants that can notify team members of relevant updates
