WAB web agent bridge

We are opening Web Agent Bridge (WAB) to deeper technical review, testing, and critical feedback from developers, security researchers, browser automation engineers, AI-agent builders, and privacy-focused infrastructure communities.

WAB is an open AI ↔ Web protocol and agent interoperability layer designed to reduce brittle DOM automation and replace guesswork with signed, machine-readable capability contracts.

The project currently includes:

  • DNS-based discovery (_wab)
  • /.well-known/wab.json
  • Signed trust profiles (Ed25519)
  • Ring 4 trust verification
  • Agent capability negotiation
  • Intent-aware routing
  • Governance and audit layers
  • Privacy budget declarations
  • Refusal and constitutional invariant handling
  • Cross-agent verification flows
  • SDKs and framework adapters
  • MCP and browser-agent integrations

The broader goal is simple:

Create a predictable, inspectable, privacy-aware interface between AI agents and the web — without requiring centralized control, invasive tracking, or fragile scraping logic.

We are specifically interested in feedback regarding:

  • protocol design
  • security assumptions
  • trust boundaries
  • abuse resistance
  • privacy implications
  • interoperability
  • schema clarity
  • agent discoverability
  • edge-case behavior
  • failure modes
  • governance architecture
  • machine-readability
  • developer ergonomics

We are not looking for hype.

We are looking for:

  • serious testing
  • architectural criticism
  • implementation review
  • adversarial thinking
  • interoperability experiments
  • independent verification

If parts of the design are flawed, we want to know.
If assumptions break under real-world conditions, we want to see it.
If there are better approaches, we are open to them.

The protocol, SDKs, and specifications are public and reviewable.

The long-term health of agent ecosystems will likely depend on open, inspectable, privacy-respecting standards rather than opaque automation layers.

Constructive criticism is welco
