Agents.txt – proposed standard for AI agent permissions on the web

AI Analysis
●MidBold Bet
Like robots.txt but for AI agents—clever idea, though it's only a draft spec with zero adoption.
Strengths
- •Extends robots.txt model to cover actions, training consent, and MCP server discovery
- •Agent identity tiers allow different permissions for verified vs unknown agents
- •CC BY 4.0 license encourages community contribution and adoption
Weaknesses
- •Draft v0.1 with 6 commits and zero implementations—pure proposal, no working tools
- •Standards require industry adoption—no major browser or AI company backing yet

Agentify - A Declarative, AI agent building toolkit
Defines agents as YAML specs and provides a simple CLI + Python API so you can iterate on agent behavior without committing to a heavyweight framework. It supports many model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Bedrock, etc.) and includes Colab examples and a quickstart, which makes experimenting frictionless — but it deliberately avoids workflow/orchestration features, so it’s clearly aimed at prototyping rather than production-grade agent pipelines.
