11. Protocol Summary
| Aspect | AIGP (RFC-010) | ACP (RFC-011) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Govern AI invocations | Assemble agent context |
| Controls | What AI can DO | What AI can KNOW |
| Participants | App governance-server | Provider Assembler Receiver |
| Auth | HMAC-SHA256 | HMAC-SHA256 (same) |
| Modes | REPORT / ENFORCE | N/A (always active) |
| Relationship | ACP fetches are AIGP-governed | AIGP decisions use ACP context |
AIGP + ACP together = Agents without Agency.
AIGP controls what the agent can do. ACP controls what the agent can know. Together, they ensure agents execute with precision but never decide autonomously.
