Protocol-neutral agent procurement

Procurement and outcome verification
for autonomous agents.

M2M Market is a neutral control plane for procurement and outcome verification across machine-to-machine and AI-agent services. It coordinates discovery, comparison, authorization, quotes, execution evidence, outcome evaluation, reconciliation and portable receipts while external protocols provide interoperable rails around that lifecycle.

A control plane, not a single protocol or payment rail.

MCP, A2A, x402, MPP, AP2 and future standards can interoperate with M2M without becoming the canonical architecture. Discovery does not imply executability; payment does not imply a useful outcome; and a receipt does not by itself prove correctness.

Canonical procurement model

Commercial control around machine-delivered services.

The control plane keeps authorization, commercial state, service execution, verification and receipts distinct so each stage can be governed and explained independently.

For enterprises

Govern agents before they act.

Organizations can apply shared budget controls, approved-Provider policy, private catalogs, approval thresholds, sensitivity and jurisdiction rules, a kill switch and audit history without exposing the internal enforcement topology.

For providers

Define once; distribute selectively.

Normalize a service into the M2M Service Manifest, validate conformance, generate supported projections and choose publication targets. Controlled syndication is proven; universal third-party publication is not implied.

Observe the network without inventing activity.

Public network metrics use production telemetry rather than fabricated counters. Current capability and protocol posture is published separately in the Standards Observatory.

Discovery, policy, quote and lifecycle-read surfaces can be available while spend-capable payment, refund, external-signing and broad publication mutations remain intentionally disabled.
