Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP)

Summary

Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) 1.0.1 Introduction The Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) is a modern, flexible, and scalable standard for defining and interacting with tools across a wide variety of communication protocols. UTCP 1.0.0 introduces a modular core with a plugin-based architecture, making it more extensible, testable, and easier to package. In contrast to other protocols, UTCP places a strong emphasis on: Scalability : UTCP is designed to handle a large number of tools and providers without compromising performance. : UTCP is designed to handle a large number of tools and providers without compromising performance. Extensibility : A pluggable architecture allows developers to easily add new communication protocols, tool storage mechanisms, and search strategies without modifying the core library. : A pluggable architecture allows developers to easily add new communication protocols, tool storage mechanisms, and search strategies without modifying the core library. Interoperability : With a growing ecosystem of protocol plugins (including HTTP, SSE, CLI, and more), UTCP can integrate with almost any existing service or infrastructure. : With a growing ecosystem of protocol plugins (including HTTP, SSE, CLI, and more), UTCP can integrate with almost any existing service or infrastructure. Ease of Use: The protocol is built on simple, well-defined Pydantic models, making it easy for developers to implement and use. New Architecture in 1.0.0 UTCP has been refactored into a core library and a set of optional plugins. Core Package ( utcp ) The utcp package provides the central components and interfaces: Data Models : Pydantic models for Tool , CallTemplate , UtcpManual , and Auth . : Pydantic models for , , , and . Pluggable Interfaces : CommunicationProtocol : Defines the contract for protocol-specific communication (e.g., HTTP, CLI). ConcurrentToolRepository : An interface for storing and retrieving tools with thread-safe access. ToolSearchStrate...
