NL Protocol for AI Platform Builders

Integrate NL Protocol into your LLM platform or agent orchestration framework to provide built-in secret governance.

You are

An engineer at an LLM company (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) or agent orchestration platform (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen) looking to add native secret governance to your platform.

Key areas of focus

  • Platform integration patterns — how to embed NL Protocol into your agent runtime, tool execution layer, or MCP server
  • Attestation mechanisms — agent identity documents, cryptographic signatures, and trust level verification
  • Transport bindings — HTTP, stdio, and WebSocket transport specifications for the wire protocol
  • Multi-region federation — cross-agent trust, delegation tokens, and result-only propagation across distributed systems

Recommended path

1
Understand core concepts

Opaque handles, scope grants, isolation boundaries, and the action-based access model.

2
Review protocol levels

Seven independent layers from agent identity through cross-agent trust and federation.

3
Explore the wire protocol spec

JSON schemas, message types, transport bindings, and error handling for platform integration.

4
Browse integration guides

Reference implementation patterns, conformance testing, and platform-specific guidance.

Time commitment

~25 minutes for the conceptual overview, ~1 day for a wire protocol integration prototype.
