Independent The Simple Agent Management Protocol (SAMP) defines a lightweight management-plane protocol for heterogeneous AI agents. SAMP allows a management system to discover agents, query their state, receive events, subscribe to event streams, and optionally configure or execute explicitly exposed operations under policy control. SAMP is inspired by operational management protocols such as SNMP, but it is designed for AI-agent-specific concepts such as dynamic profiles, autonomy classes, enrollment, trust states, and policy- gated execution. It is not an agent-to-agent communication protocol, an agent tool-use protocol, or an agent framework specification. This document defines SAMP version 0.1 as an Experimental protocol suitable for controlled environments and independent interoperability testing.
