UIM Protocol Prototype Implementations¶

Welcome to the UIM Protocol Prototype Implementations section. This section provides information about the reference implementations of the UIM Protocol, which demonstrate how the protocol works in practice.

Available Prototypes¶

• Overview: A high-level overview of the prototype implementations
• Discovery Service: Documentation for the centralized discovery service
• Mock Agent: Documentation for the mock AI agent
• Mock Webservice: Documentation for the mock web service

Purpose of Prototypes¶

The prototype implementations serve several important purposes:

1. Demonstration: They demonstrate how the UIM Protocol works in practice, showing the interactions between AI agents and web services.
2. Validation: They validate the protocol specification, ensuring that it is implementable and functional.
3. Reference: They provide a reference for developers implementing the protocol in their own applications.
4. Testing: They enable testing of the protocol in a controlled environment.

Architecture¶

The prototype implementations follow a hybrid architecture, combining elements of both centralized and decentralized approaches:

graph TD
    A[Mock Agent] -->|1. Queries for services| B[Centralized Discovery Service]
    B -->|2. Returns matching services| A
    A -->|3. Authenticates & sends intent| C[Mock Webservice]
    C -->|4. Processes intent & responds| A

        D -.-> C
        E[Authentication System] -.-> A
        E -.-> C
        F[Policy Management] -.-> C
    end

Getting Started with Prototypes¶

To get started with the prototype implementations:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/synaptiai/uim-protocol.git
   

2. Set Up the Discovery Service:

   cd uim-protocol/implementations/centralized-discovery-service
   # Follow instructions in discovery-service.md
   

3. Set Up the Mock Webservice:

   cd uim-protocol/implementations/uim-mock-webservice
   # Follow instructions in mock-webservice.md
   

4. Set Up the Mock Agent:

   cd uim-protocol/implementations/uim-mock-agent
   # Follow instructions in mock-agent.md
   

5. Test the Interactions:

   # Follow instructions in overview.md
   

Development Status¶

The prototype implementations are currently in active development. They are functional but may not implement all features of the protocol specification. We welcome contributions to improve and extend the prototypes.
