Agentic Exchange: A Search Engine and Registry for AI Agents (ADP v2.0) (agentic-exchange.metisos.co)

ADP v2.0’s "Agentic Exchange" launches a searchable registry and discovery layer for autonomous AI agents — a centralized index where developers can find, compare, and plug in agents by capability, interface, and metadata. The Exchange catalogs agent manifests, capability tags, provenance and performance notes, and provides a queryable search surface so teams can discover agents that match task profiles (e.g., data-extraction, scheduling, or software engineering agents). The announcement positions the Exchange as a marketplace and directory that makes it easy to evaluate, compose, and reuse agents rather than rebuilding them from scratch. That shift matters because it turns agent development into a composable ecosystem with standard interfaces and discoverable capabilities. Technical implications include clearer metadata and API expectations, faster prototyping by combining specialized agents, and stronger incentives for verifiable behavior, sandboxing, and benchmarking. As an example, Anthropic’s Claude Code — an autonomous coding assistant that does code generation, debugging, testing, refactoring and deployment and exposes an interactive CLI with file ops, bash execution, web search and multi-step planning — typifies the kind of agent the Exchange will index. The Exchange therefore accelerates adoption of powerful, production-ready agent primitives while also raising governance, security, and interoperability needs (manifest standards, capability-scopes, and runtime isolation) for safe composition and deployment.
