But perhaps the most important part: this is open. WorkOS authored the protocol, but auth.md is not tied to WorkOS infrastructure. Any app can publish one. Any agent can read one. Any provider can implement verified identity assertions. The point is interoperability, not another walled garden. I believe in the open web. It’s critical that a single company doesn’t control the gateway to agent auth. It must be an open spec, not a proprietary system.
