Agent Name Service

Agent Name Service (ANS)

A secure registry for AI agents based on the [OWASP GenAI Security Project's](https://genai.owasp.org/) Agent Name Service (ANS) Protocol. ANS provides a foundational framework for secure discovery and interaction among AI agents.

Overview

The Agent Name Service is a centralized registry that enables:

• Agent Registration: Securely register AI agents with unique identifiers and capabilities
• Certificate Management: Issue and validate agent certificates for secure communications
• Discovery: Resolve agent information in both A2A and MCP formats
• Security Analysis: Integrate with Mastra.ai for threat modeling and security assessment

ANS bridges the gap between different agent communication protocols, allowing seamless interoperability between agents using Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol and Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Features

• Secure Registration: Register agents with unique names and capabilities with certificate generation
• Multi-Protocol Support: Resolve agents in both A2A and MCP protocol formats
• Integrated Threat Analysis: Security analysis using Mastra.ai integration
• Lightweight Storage: SQLite persistence layer for easy deployment
• Modular Architecture: Clean separation of concerns for extensibility
