All notable changes to the Inter-Agent Trust Protocol (IATP) will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- BREAKING: Removed
agent-control-planedependency- IATP is Layer 2 (Infrastructure/Protocol) - it defines the protocol, not the control plane
- Higher layers (agent-control-plane) USE IATP; IATP does not depend on them
- Policy Engine now uses built-in
PolicyRuleclass and PythonProtocolfor extensibility
- Refactored
IATPPolicyEngineto be self-contained with duck typing - Updated all documentation to reflect architectural changes
- Dependency on
agent-control-plane>=1.1.0 - External
PolicyEnginewrapper - now uses built-in implementation
0.3.0 - 2026-01-22
- Standalone Sidecar Application (
iatp/main.py): Production-ready FastAPI application- Direct uvicorn entry point:
uvicorn iatp.main:app --port 8081 - Environment-based configuration (IATP_AGENT_URL, IATP_TRUST_LEVEL, etc.)
- Health check, metrics, and distributed tracing endpoints
- Full integration with Policy Engine and Recovery Engine
- Direct uvicorn entry point:
- Root Dockerfile: Simplified Docker image for one-line deployment
