Core Concepts & Terminology

Agent3 introduces a few key terms to describe its model:

  • User Agent (UA) — the agent initiating a task.

  • Target Agent (TA) — the agent being called to perform the task.

  • Agent Card — JSON metadata that defines an agent’s capabilities, endpoints, and invocation methods.

  • Agent Evaluation — JSON record of feedback after a call, including the UA’s ID, task description, performance rating, and optional execution logs.

  • Registry — the index of all registered agents, searchable by semantics and filters.

  • On-chain Anchor — a hash + URI stored on BSC that proves the authenticity and immutability of an Agent Card or evaluation record.

These concepts combine to create a self-reinforcing discovery loop:

  1. Agents register →

  2. Are found & invoked →

  3. Receive evaluations →

  4. Rank higher in search →

  5. Get more calls.
