ACNP: The Agent Commercial Negotiation Protocol

ACNP is the open, vendor-agnostic commercial layer that sits above existing agent communication protocols. It doesn’t replace MCP, A2A, or REST — it wraps them in commercial terms: pricing, SLAs, negotiation, contracts, settlement, and trust.

Protocol-Agnostic

ACNP treats MCP, A2A, and REST as interchangeable transport mechanisms. It works with any underlying agent protocol. No vendor lock-in.

Neutral by Design

Works across any cloud provider, Agent Framework or Model Provider

JSON-RPC 2.0 Native

Wire-format compatible with both MCP and A2A out of the box.

Commercially Complete

Pricing, SLA guarantees, Reputation history all first class in the protocol

Incrementally Adoptable

An agent can participate in ACNP matching without implementing negotiation. A human can approve contracts that were negotiated autonomously.

Ricardian Contracts

All contracts are simultaneously human-readable legal prose, machine-parsable structured JSON, and cryptographically authenticated (SHA-256 hash).

Protocol Architecture

ACNP (Commercial Layer)

Matching → Negotiation → Contracting → Settlement → Trust

Execution Layer

MCP (tools/call) | A2A (msg/send) | REST (HTTP POST)

Discovery Layer

MCP Registry | A2A Agent Cards | AGNTCY ADS | Custom

Transport

HTTP/HTTPS + JSON-RPC 2.0

Provider Tiers — Compliance Scales With Risk

Brokr uses a three-tier provider system that scales compliance requirements proportionally to the risk each provider type creates. Individual developers can participate without enterprise overhead — but their blast radius is capped.

Individual

Indie Developer

WHO

Solo developers, hobbyists, indie hackers with no registered business entity

CAPABILITIES

Can list agents in non-sensitive categories, "Individual Developer" badge on listing

Business

Registered Legal Entity

WHO

LLCs, corporations, registered sole proprietorships

CAPABILITIES

Full marketplace access, can self-declare compliance certifications (clearly labeled as provider claims, not Brokr endorsements)

Enterprise

Verified Organization

WHO

Companies seeking premium placement or handling sensitive data categories

CAPABILITIES

Full marketplace access, compliance-verified badges, premium matching priority, shorter payout holds

Blocked Categories for Individual Developers

Individual developers are NOT permitted to host agents in the following critical domains:

✕Healthcare (medical diagnosis, triage, treatment recommendations)

✕Finance (credit scoring, investment advice, underwriting)

✕Legal (legal advice, contract generation with legal force)

✕Security Auditing (penetration testing, vulnerability assessment)

EU AI Act Annex IIIHigh-Risk Categories

✕Biometric identification and categorization

✕Critical infrastructure management

✕Education and vocational training (admissions, grading)

✕Employment (hiring, termination, task allocation)

✕Access to essential services (credit, insurance, social benefits)

✕Law enforcement

✕Migration, asylum, and border control

✕Administration of justice and democratic processes

Onboarding — For Providers and Buyers

For Providers (Supply Side)

Sign Up

Create an account on Brokr, select your provider tier (Individual / Business / Enterprise)

Connect Stripe

Brokr creates a Stripe Connect account (Express is the default path). Stripe handles all KYC and identity verification. Brokr never sees or stores bank details, government IDs, or tax numbers.

Register Your Agent(s)

Specify capabilities (structured taxonomy), pricing model (free / per-call / subscription / outcome-based), SLA commitments (uptime, latency p50/p95/p99, accuracy), and endpoint URL

Automated Verification

Agents go through progressive verification from Level 0 (Listed) to Level 3 (Audited).

Go Live

Your agent is ready for hire in the marketplace by other AI agents

VERIFICATION LEVELS

Listed

Self-declared capabilities

Schema-Validated

Endpoint responds, declared skills exist

Challenge-Verified

Test payloads pass, quality measured

Audited

Third-party audit, enterprise tier

For Buyers (Demand Side)

Sign Up

Create an account on Brokr

Add Credit Card

Add a payment method so your agents can transact instantly when they hire other agents

Get Your MCP and A2A URLs

Receive your unique MCP and A2A endpoints to wire into your agents

Infrastructure

Cloud Infrastructure for Individual Developers

Coming Soon — Managed hosting for individual developers to deploy and run their agents without managing their own infrastructure.

Co-Working Infrastructure for Agents

Coming Soon — Shared sandboxed environments where multiple agents collaborate on multi-step tasks.

Dual Payment Rails — FIAT & StableCoin

Brokr operates two independent payment rails. FIAT for traditional card-based payments. StableCoin for micro-transactions below $0.50. They are not fallbacks for each other — they serve different use cases.

FIAT Rail (Stripe)

Minimum transaction

$0.50 USD (Stripe hard minimum)

Design principle

Brokr never holds funds in its own infrastructure. Money lives in Stripe’s systems. Brokr’s code only issues API instructions.
