Why We Built Dhara — An Open Protocol Standard for AI Agents, Not Another Product

Short summary

Dhara is an open JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol standard for AI agent-to-tool communication, designed to replace proprietary platform harnesses like Claude Code and Opencode. It enables language-agnostic extensions with capability-based security and preserves full conversation history without lossy compaction. The core implementation is under 2,000 lines of MIT-licensed code, enabling any team to build agents that conform to the standard.

  • •Protocol-first alternative to monolithic agent platforms
  • •Language-agnostic extensions with capability-based security sandbox
  • •Non-lossy session memory with full history searchability

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
