Protocol drafts
Protocols
Open drafts that form the rights layer of an AI-readable web: content & learning rights (AICR, AICL, AIRS, AILP) declare and license what AI may do with content; agent & protocol rights (AARS, AADP) declare what an Agent may do once it holds tool access, and who authorized it.
Content & Learning Rights
AI Content Rights / AI Content Rules
A machine-readable declaration of what AI systems may do with your content.
Read draftAI Content License / AI Content Licensing Layer
Turns declared rights into executable licensing: quote, pay, verify, audit, revoke.
Read draftAI Rights Spectrum
AI rights over content are not binary — they form a graduated, licensable spectrum.
Read draftAI Learning Permission Protocol
Can AI learn from this? To what depth, for which uses, with what obligations?
Read draftAgent & Protocol Rights
Agent Action Rights Spectrum
What can this Agent do, to what effect, and how reversibly? Content permission does not imply action permission.
Read draftAgent Authority & Delegation Protocol
Who does this Agent act for, where did its authority come from, and can it hand that authority to another Agent?
Read draftAgentic Payment
A fifth track — Agentic Payment — is studied as part of AICL: how agents pay for licensed content inside human-approved budgets, with request-bound tokens and audit logs, and never with raw card data.
All protocols on this site are open drafts (v0.1). They are research proposals, not established standards.
