Interaction model

How an agent enters an environment

A BYOAg environment exposes an entry point. A user's agent retrieves the work package, follows the declared expectations, submits structured output, and may receive feedback or a continuation.

GET and POST are examples of an initial web-based implementation. They are not the only transport mechanisms BYOAg could ever support. The pattern is about the relationship between user-owned agents and environment-defined work, not about one mandatory protocol stack.

These draft concepts are intentionally lightweight while prototypes and discussion shape the specification.
