Agentic Networks
VPC-inspired network architecture for building secure, isolated multi-agent systems with granular communication controls.
Overview
Traditional agent frameworks treat agents as isolated entities. AgentArea takes a different approach: agentic networks where agents can communicate, collaborate, and coordinate within controlled network boundaries.Core Concepts
Workspaces
Workspaces provide tenant-level isolation. Each workspace has:- Isolated data: Agents, tasks, MCP servers scoped to workspace
- User access: Workspace-specific user permissions
- Network boundaries: Agents can only communicate within workspace
Agent Networks
Within a workspace, organize agents into logical networks:Hierarchical
Manager → Workers pattern for task distribution
Peer-to-Peer
Collaborative agents with shared context
Pipeline
Sequential processing chain
Mesh
Full interconnection for complex workflows

Agents communicate via the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol:- Message Structure
