Smart Access Points

Overview

Smart Access Points are a critical component of Skynet's architecture. They form the point of integration between tool providers and the Skynet protocol.

Smart Access Points are capable of handling integration with providers through APIs (and this is the default mode of operation currently) but can take in requests from agents in natural language and translate that for the request passed via the API.

Skynet will roll out API integration to public and private-facing APIs at a fast pace and work through our BD team and channel partners to secure agent-based integrations that truly understand the tooling provider's offerings and can fulfil complex requests.

Capability summary

1. Smart Access Points allow for any organization to add tools and services to Skynet.

2. Smart Access Points allow for existing rest APIs of the providing organization to be made compatible with AI agents.

3. Smart Access Points create a natural language interface for tools.

4. Smart Access Points convert stable coin payments into fiat to settle with Web2 tooling providers.

5. Smart Access Points can be implemented by 3rd party channel partners on behalf of tool-providing organizations (this will aid the pace of future integration work).

6. Smart Access Points are an integration approach introduced by Skynet, but other standards (such as MCP) are fully supported by the protocol. This is necessary as this is a fast-moving space with no dominant and mature standard yet established (contrary to the current MCP hype).
