Meta, Sierra Set Personal Agent Protocol
Personal Agent Protocol defines how AI agents authenticate with businesses, receive scoped read or write permissions, and complete tasks through websites, APIs, or company agents. Meta, Sierra, Shopify, Stripe, Walmart, and other partners are shaping the OAuth-based standard as a shared layer for agentic commerce and customer service.

This is less a finished product than a credible attempt to make agentic commerce legible to enterprise systems—but its success depends on adoption, permission granularity, and interoperability.
- –OAuth-based guest, read-only, and write access gives users clearer control while letting businesses define agent boundaries.
- –Website, API, MCP, OpenAPI, and company-agent routes could reduce brittle browser automation and one-off integrations.
- –The draft’s planned permissions, notifications, and payment extensions show that important production details remain unresolved.
- –A reference implementation and broader partner participation will determine whether this becomes a real developer standard or another competing agent protocol.
