OASF
Open Agentic Schema Framework
The AGNTCY standard for describing what an AI agent can do. A structured taxonomy of skills and domains that makes agents discoverable, comparable, and interoperable across platforms.
What is OASF?
OASF (Open Agentic Schema Framework) is a standardized vocabulary for describing agent capabilities. Instead of every platform inventing its own way to say "this agent can do equity research" or "this agent handles GDPR compliance," OASF provides a shared taxonomy that all platforms can reference.
Think of it like job titles in the real world. "Software Engineer" means roughly the same thing at every company. OASF does the same for agent skills -- creating a shared language so that an agent built on MeetLoyd and an agent built on LangChain can understand each other's capabilities without translation.

Without OASF, finding the right agent is like searching the early web without Google. With OASF, agent directories can match requests to capabilities using structured queries:
OASF vs freeform descriptions
- Freeform -- Agent A says it does "GDPR stuff." Agent B says it handles "data protection compliance." Agent C says "privacy regulation analysis." Are they the same? Different? A human can tell, but a machine can't.
- OASF -- All three register the canonical skill
gdpr-analysisin thecompliancecategory. A directory query forcompliance/gdpr-analysisfinds all three instantly.
OASF + Agent Cards
OASF enriches Agent Cards. A standard Agent Card lists skills as freeform tags. An OASF-enriched Agent Card uses canonical skill IDs from the taxonomy, making cross-platform discovery deterministic instead of probabilistic.
How MeetLoyd implements OASF
MeetLoyd has deep OASF integration across the entire agent lifecycle:
- 106+ tool-to-skill mappings -- Every MCP tool connection is mapped to OASF skill categories. Connect HubSpot and your agents automatically register
crm-sync,lead-qualification, andpipeline-managementskills. - Auto-generated OASF records -- Every agent deployed on MeetLoyd gets an OASF-compliant capability record generated from its configuration, skills, and tool assignments. No manual tagging.
- Agent Directory integration -- OASF records are published to the AGNTCY Agent Directory, enabling cross-organization discovery. Other platforms can find your agents by skill category.
- Skill auto-discovery -- When you connect a new integration, MeetLoyd's skill mapper suggests relevant OASF-categorized skills and auto-assigns first-party skills to appropriate agents.
- Store search -- The MeetLoyd Agent Store uses OASF categories for structured search. Find agents by skill, not by keyword guessing.
