Agent Infrastructure

The trust layer for autonomous agents.

Agents are already connecting to tools, data, and each other. What's missing is the infrastructure for trust — who an agent is, what it's allowed to do, and whether it can be believed. Ozek AI is building that layer.

The Shift

The wire is being figured out.

Two protocols emerged in the past year that are quietly rewriting how software works. They define how agents connect. What they don't define is whether those connections can be trusted.

MCP / Tools

Anthropic's Model Context Protocol

Defines how models connect to external tools and data sources. Lets agents act in the world — read files, query databases, call APIs. Launched Nov 2024. Now supported across the ecosystem.

A2A / Agents

Google's Agent-to-Agent Protocol

Defines how agents communicate with each other. Enables multi-agent workflows — delegation, orchestration, parallel task execution. Launched Apr 2025. Backed by 50+ companies.

What's Missing / Trust

No layer for trust

MCP and A2A define the wire. They don't answer: Is this agent who it claims to be? Does it have permission to take this action? Should the receiving agent believe what it says? That's the gap.

The Gap

Protocols define the wire. They don't define who's allowed to use it, what they're allowed to say, or whether their claims can be verified.

When a human requests a document, there's a login, a permission check, an audit log. When an agent does it, there's often nothing. No verified identity. No scoped capability declaration. No policy enforcement. Just a message over a protocol, trusted because it arrived.

This is fine in demo environments. It becomes a serious problem in production — especially in regulated, high-stakes, or multi-organization workflows where the wrong action by the wrong agent can cascade.

"We don't yet have the infrastructure to know whether an autonomous agent should be trusted — not just authenticated, but trusted to act on our behalf in a world where agents talk to agents."

What We're Building

Three layers. One stack.

01

Registry

A discoverable directory of agents: what they do, who operates them, what they're authorized to access. Think DNS, but for agents. Before you connect, you can look up who you're connecting to.

02

Identity

Cryptographic credentials for agents — issued, revocable, scoped to specific capabilities. An agent can prove it is who it says it is, and that proof can be verified by any counterparty without calling home.

03

Policy Gateway

Enforcement at the edge. Policies defined by operators — what an agent can request, what data it can touch, what actions require human review. Applied consistently across every protocol interaction.

Together: the infrastructure layer that makes autonomous agents safe to deploy in production — not just in sandboxes.

Starting Where Trust Is the Problem

Supply chain first.

We're not starting with a generic infrastructure play. We're starting in one domain where the trust problem is already urgent and the pain is concrete: global supply chain.

Supply chain orchestration is increasingly agent-driven. Procurement agents negotiate with supplier agents. Logistics agents coordinate with customs agents. ERP agents trigger finance agents. These are not hypothetical — they're being deployed today, in enterprises, with real consequences when something goes wrong.

The trust problem here is acute: different organizations, different regulatory regimes, enormous financial stakes, and no shared infrastructure for knowing whether the agent on the other side of a message is authorized to make the commitment it's making.

We're working directly with supply chain operators to build the first version of the trust layer — then generalizing outward.

Multi-org, multi-agent

Supply chain workflows cross organizational boundaries. Trust can't be handled by a single company's auth system.

High stakes, real consequences

Unauthorized agent actions in supply chain can mean wrong shipments, bad contracts, compliance violations. The cost of failure is measurable.

Regulatory pressure

EU AI Act, DORA, sector-specific compliance — regulated industries are already asking for audit trails and accountability layers for automated decisions.

Why Now

The window is open. And it's closing.

Nov 2024

MCP launches

Anthropic releases the Model Context Protocol. Agents can now connect to tools at scale.

Apr 2025

A2A launches

Google releases Agent-to-Agent. 50+ companies back it. Agents can now delegate to agents.

Now

Production deployments begin

Enterprises are deploying agents in real workflows. The question is no longer "will this happen?" — it's "what breaks first?"

Soon

Incident, then standard

Every major infrastructure category was shaped by a trust incident that forced standardization. Agent trust will follow the same arc.

The window

Infrastructure gets set in the early years

TCP/IP, TLS, OAuth — the teams that built those owned the category. The agent trust layer will be the same. The window is right now.

"The same pattern has repeated across every generation of infrastructure: TCP/IP defined the wire; TLS defined the trust layer. OAuth defined authorization for the web. We are at the TCP/IP moment for autonomous agents — the wire is being figured out. The trust layer is next."

Get Involved

Two ways to engage early.

For operators

Design partners

We're working with a small group of supply chain operators to build the first version. Design partners shape the product, get early access, and receive hands-on support from the founding team.
