For AI agent services, the request that arrives at the network is not a single unit of work: it is a session that expands into multiple steps, each of which may require a different capability, a different state, and a different path. This document describes a mapping framework that turns the characteristics of an agent step into (1) a set of hard constraints and (2) a per-dimension valuation over a three-dimensional resource view composed of forwarding, computing, and storage, and that feeds the resulting suitability of each candidate service contact instance into the existing CATS selection function. The framework introduces no new functional component.}, }
