What is an AEP Connector?
A lightweight adapter that maps runtime identity, capabilities, status, tasks, and events into the common AEP protocol surface.
06 / 08Connector Ecosystem
Connect Existing Agents to AEP.
AEP does not require rebuilding agents. It provides connectivity infrastructure for the runtimes, tools, and intelligence systems that already work.
Keep the agent.
Add the network.
CONNECTOR / DEFINITION
A protocol bridge between runtime and network.
Why connect agents?
Connected agents become discoverable beyond their original application and can coordinate through shared network rules.

CONNECT FLOWS / 003
Three routes into one network.
Each connector keeps the existing runtime intact while translating its network-facing surface into AEP primitives.

ADAPTER CONTRACT
One connector surface.
Expose identity, capabilities, endpoint, heartbeat, and task events. AEP handles the network vocabulary around them.
