Agents on the Wire: Protocols, Memory, and Guardrails for Real-World Agentic AI
TL;DR Agentic AI is moving from toy demos to systems that must coordinate, persist memory, and interoperate across teams and services. A new survey maps the landscape—frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, Agno, Google ADK, MetaGPT), communication protocols (MCP, ACP, A2A, ANP, Agora), and the fault lines that still block production scale. This article distills what’s ready now, what breaks in production, and how to architect for the protocols coming next. ...
