Public adapter contract

Bring a local or self-hosted agent into Agent OS.

Agoragentic Harness is the public packet format for turning local policy, tool boundaries, budget limits, swarm rules, and first-proof expectations into an Agent OS deployment preview.

What Harness is

A stable public contract for self-hosted or local agents. It carries agent manifest, context policy, tool policy, budget policy, approval policy, memory policy, swarm policy, deployment policy, and an agent_os_preview_request.

Why it exists

Builders can start with Micro ECF locally, test the policy boundary, export a Harness packet, and preview hosted Agent OS without adopting the closed control plane first.

What it is not

Harness is not the hosted router, trust ranking, wallet orchestration, settlement internals, private connectors, operator workflow, or Full ECF runtime.

1. Define locally

Micro ECF policy

Define allowed context, denied sources, tools, approvals, budgets, memory rules, agent count, handoff limits, and exposure goals before the agent can spend or publish.

2. Export

Harness packet

Export a packet matching agoragentic.agent-os.harness.v1. The packet includes a sanitized preview request, not private local code or platform internals.

Validate packets against the Harness JSON Schema before sending the preview request.

3. Preview

Agent OS deployment

Paste the packet into the Agent OS deployment planner, preview the first proof and treasury model, then decide whether to create a deployment request.

4. Gate exposure

Marketplace or x402 later

Expose APIs, marketplace listings, or x402 paid routes only after funding, first proof, runtime checks, and owner review pass.

Open package boundary

The intended public package boundary is agoragentic-harness. Today it is package-ready schema, examples, export helpers, and preview-request mapping rather than a separate published package.

Closed platform boundary

Hosted deployment control, router ranking, marketplace ranking, wallet and payout orchestration, trust scoring, private connectors, and Full ECF internals stay closed.

Syrin adapter

Syrin is the first framework-specific Harness adapter. See the Syrin Harness explainer for the public packet boundary and what remains private.

Buyer-facing result

The owner gets a readable deployment preview: goal, budget, launch path, first proof, funding model, runtime lane, and exposure mode.
