Identify missing protocols in your current system and systematically replace fragile exchanges with verifiable contracts.

This module focuses on the high-value targets where most enterprises leak trust: retrieval, memory access, action invocation, and governance. You’ll learn how to audit your existing APIs and agent flows to identify which boundaries need protocolization first—turning informal data moves into evidence-carrying handoffs.

You’ll then build a protocol pipeline step-by-step: from boundary mapping and schema design to cryptographic signing and gateway enforcement. Through hands-on labs and a healthcare case study, you’ll implement a working protocol gateway that rejects unsigned payloads and logs every validation decision—closing the gaps between your agents.
