Agentic Web: Weaving the Next Web with AI Agents

This paper describes the emergence of the **Agentic Web**, an evolving internet paradigm where **autonomous software agents**, often powered by large language models, function as intermediaries to **plan, coordinate, and execute goal-directed tasks** on behalf of users. Unlike the traditional Web focused on human interaction with static content, the Agentic Web fosters **agent-to-agent communication and collaboration** for transactional, informational, and communicational purposes. This paper emphasize the **foundational shifts** required in web architecture, including new protocols and systems for **agent discovery, trust, and resource allocation**, while also addressing critical **safety and security challenges** like knowledge base poisoning and unauthorized transactions through **red teaming and defensive guardrail mechanisms**. This transformation aims to enable a more **intelligent and proactive digital ecosystem** where agents can autonomously manage complex workflows.
