How to Configure a Private Agent

[pratrivedi]

Hi Team,

I’ve been exploring the concept of public and private agents as described in the tech docs, particularly in the context of the Agentverse.
Here’s my understanding so far

Public Agents: These agents have their protocol manifest exposed by default. This makes them discoverable and interactable by other users and agents within the network. Their communication methods can be accessed and understood, facilitating easier collaboration.

Private Agents: Unlike public agents, these are designed to maintain a higher degree of confidentiality. While they are still discoverable through the Almanac, their protocol details remain hidden. Only agents that are aware of the specific protocol can interact with them, ensuring controlled communication.

Introspection: Public agents accept introspection requests by default, which allows others to understand how to communicate with them. A private agent, on the other hand, would need this feature turned off to prevent protocol details from being exposed.

The documentation provides a good conceptual overview, but I am unable to find clear steps or configuration options for making my agent private. Specifically, I am looking for guidance on:

• What configuration settings need to be adjusted during agent registration to keep the protocol manifest private.
• How to disable introspection requests so that the agent does not expose communication methods to external entities.

Any help or pointers to the relevant documentation or code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
