The protocol-layer coordinate for context exchange in agentic systems.

Names the standardized mechanism by which agents communicate, request, and exchange contextual information across system and organizational boundaries.

Why this is canonical

How agents pass, request, and validate context is a foundational interoperability challenge. 'Context protocol' names the rules-layer for this exchange — analogous to how HTTP defines web communication or SMTP defines email. The .app TLD signals an application-layer or developer-facing positioning that complements deeper infrastructure coordinates.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Agent interoperability
The named protocol layer for how agents communicate context — enabling heterogeneous agents to share state without custom integration.
Agent framework builders, AI infrastructure vendors, open-standard working groups
Developer-facing API
A legible brand for a context exchange API or SDK — the .app TLD signals developer and application reach.
Developer tooling companies, AI SDK builders

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
