Show HN: Pilot Protocol – a network where AI agents find tools and each other

We built a protocol that gives AI agents an address, plus discovery/trust/payments between agents. Agents install it themselves with one line (see on pilotprotocol.network) - about 250k have, exchanging ~2B packets/day, mostly without their owners’ knowledge. The interesting part for HN is probably the App Store model: publishers list tools, and agents autonomously discover and install them (30k installs in the first two weeks). Happy to answer anything about the architecture, trust model, or the weird stuff agents do on the network.

How does your trust model sandbox these autonomous installs to prevent malicious tools from leaking the owner's data or draining their wallet?

Who owns the agents? FAANG but appearing independent?

be curious about the startups that haven't raised VC (ie independent) yet have traction - would be interesting to see an "alternative periodic table" of their economy
