About agent-client-protocol

Agent Client Protocol The Agent Client Protocol (ACP) standardizes communication between code editors (interactive programs for viewing and editing source code) and coding agents (programs that use generative AI to autonomously modify code). Learn more at agentclientprotocol.com. Rust Crate and Schema Artifacts This repository's root Rust crate is . It provides the Rust data model for ACP wire messages, including request, response, notification, JSON-RPC envelope, and protocol-version types. Use this crate when you need direct access to ACP protocol types, schema-oriented tooling, or code generation inputs. If you are implementing a Rust ACP agent or client, start with the higher-level runtime crate instead. That crate provides the client and agent runtime APIs for ACP integrations; this schema crate is the lower-level protocol type surface. Generated JSON Schema artifacts live in and . When a schema release is published, the versioned files are also attached to the corresponding [ GitHub release](https://github.com/agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol/releas

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
