AICP Protocol
AI Compact Protocol - Token-efficient communication for multi-agent systems.
What is AICP?
AICP is a compact, line-oriented wire format that reduces AI-to-AI communication tokens by 50-65% compared to JSON. It uses shared glossaries for compression and supports translation to/from human-readable formats.
Why AICP?
Multi-agent systems waste tokens on verbose JSON/HTTP chatter. AICP cuts costs by using:
- Compact wire format (20 tokens vs 55 JSON tokens)
- Glossary compression for repeated terms
- Simple parsing, no heavy dependencies
Quick Start
from aicp_protocol import Session, Message
# Create compact message
session = Session(version="1", session_id="demo-001")
session.glossary = {"R1": "customer_refund_window"}
session.messages.append(Message(
op="upd", ref="ticket/8812", fields={"status": "closed", "reason": "R1"}
))
# To wire format (~63% fewer tokens than JSON)
wire = session.to_wire()
Wire Format Example
VER:1
SID:demo-001
GLOSS: R1=customer_refund_window
MSG:
op:upd ref:ticket/8812 status=closed reason=R1
Operations
| op | Meaning |
|---|---|
| upd | Update resource |
| create | Create resource |
| del | Delete |
| qry | Query |
| ack | Acknowledge |
| notify | Notify |
