This PR introduces the "AI Actor Naming Standard," a foundational specification for ensuring interoperability, discovery within the AI agent ecosystem.
Summary
As AI agents begin to interact across organizational boundaries, the lack of a common naming protocol creates ambiguity and hinders discovery. This standard solves this by defining a secure, multi-layer naming system that separates an agent's human-readable name from its stable, machine-readable logical address.
Core ### Concepts
The standard is built on two primary fields:
displayName(Short Name): A human-readable name used for discovery in UIs (e.g., "Google Tax Bot"). This name can be simple, intuitive, and is not required to be unique.identifier(Agent Identifier): A globally unique, immutable logical address that follows a URN (Uniform Resource Name) convention. This acts as the permanent handle that developers use to reference the agent, ensuring stability even if underlying infrastructures change.The URN Specification (identifier)
The
identifierprovides a verifiable and hierarchical naming structure. It MUST follow the format:urn:agent:<publisher-domain>:<namespace>:<agent-name>urn:agent:salesforce.com:productivity:slide-generator
