With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, intelligent agents, as the key carriers for transforming artificial intelligence from a concept into actual productivity, are playing a crucial role in various fields. With increasingly widespread applications, the intelligent agent domain has played a significant role in empowering new industrialization and shaping new types of productivity. However, the current development of the intelligent agent industry faces many challenges. The challenge lies in the interoperability and interconnectivity between different intelligent agents. In the field of protocol-based agent interconnection, internationally recognized technologies include MCP and... While intelligent agent communication protocols such as A2A and ANP exist, no universally agreed-upon solution has been developed, necessitating the formulation of a solution suitable for the development of China's intelligent agent industry. An industry-wide consensus solution. To systematically address the aforementioned issues, guide and regulate the development of intelligent agent interconnection technology, and enhance the interoperability and composability of intelligent agent systems. To improve overall industry efficiency, this guiding technical document is specifically formulated. GB /Z 185 "Artificial Intelligence - Interconnection of Intelligent Agents" aims to define the interconnection of intelligent agents. The technical requirements and processes for interconnection are formulated following the principles of systematicity, advancement, and operability, enabling cross-platform and cross-architecture communication between intelligent agents. GB /Z 185 is proposed to consist of seven parts, providing a unified technical framework and standard basis for interconnection, interoperability and interoperability. --Part
1.Overall Architecture. The purpose is to provide a conceptual model and a functional model for an interconnected intelligent agent environment. --Part
2.Identity Code. The purpose is to define and apply the identity code for intelligent agents, and to provide the code structure and allocation principles. The suggestion is as follows: --Part
3.Identity Management. The aim is to provide a framework and full lifecycle process for identity management in an interconnected agent environment. Describe the technical requirements for identity management. --Part
4.Agent Description. The purpose is to provide a method for describing agents, and to provide methods for registering, modifying, and publishing agent descriptions. The reference process. --Part
5.Agent Discovery. The purpose is to provide a discovery process for agent interconnection. --Part
6.Agent Interaction. The aim is to present the interaction patterns of agents in a massive interconnected world, describing the basic elements of interaction and... Interface definition. --Part
7.Agent Tool Invocation. The aim is to provide a standardized architecture and flow for agents invoking tools based on large models. The process and tools are described, supporting seamless integration of intelligent agents with external tools. AI-powered intelligent agent interconnection Part
7 Agent Tool Invocation
1.Scope This document outlines the overall architecture, invocation process, and data format for agent tool calls. This document applies to the design, development, and application of intelligent agent tool calls.
4.Intelligent Agent Tool Call Overall Architecture Based on user requests, the intelligent agent initiates tool invocations and establishes one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many connections with the tool services in the resource access domain. This enables access to and invocation of the tool library for the resource access domain. The intelligent agent tool invocation architecture is shown in Figure 1. Figure
1.Intelligent Agent Tool Call Architecture Diagram The architecture includes the following functional entities.
a) Intelligent Agent. The intelligent agent understands the user's intent based on capabilities such as large language models, generates intelligent agent tool invocation requests, and receives... The tool call execution result returned by the tool access tool;
b) Tool Access. Responsible for interacting with the resource access domain to invoke tools. This involves two aspects. first, receiving tool invocation commands from the agent; and second,... The tool service that converts the instruction into a rule-based call request and sends it to the resource access domain, and the tool service that receives the returned tool service, is also involved. The execution result is then sent back to the agent.
c) Tool Service. Responsible for interacting with the intelligent agent domain to invoke tools, receiving tool invocation requests from tool access providers, and processing them according to the requirements of the tool service. The request invokes the corresponding tool to perform the operation, and the tool's execution result is sent back to the tool for access.
d) Tool Description List. Maintains the detailed function description, input/output parameters, and calling conventions for each tool in the current tool list. Provide a basis for calling tool services;
e) Tools. A collection of tools with specific functions that execute corresponding tool operations based on the invocation instructions of tool services to achieve specific goals. Functional logic. See Appendix A for the tools for acquiring intelligent agents and examples of their usage.
