Agent-net launches open-source webagent tool for building ai-powered business agents

Agent-net, a team developing an agent-to-agent marketplace for AI agents, has open-sourced Webagent, a Go-based tool that transforms websites into secure AI agents. The tool allows businesses to create agents by selecting from pre-defined service providers and configuring a JSON spec. Webagent is currently in version 0 and supports live Slack, WhatsApp, and HTTP agents, though several features like OAuth-gated MCP and OTel export remain under development. The architecture of Webagent emphasizes security through the action.Guard feature, which enforces guardrails before executing any tool. This design is based on research indicating that architecture, not model capability, determines agent success. The tool also supports OpenRouter and OpenAI-compatible clients, with keys managed securely through environment variables and OS configurations. Webagent is designed for three audiences: businesses using pre-built providers, those extending the platform with custom providers, and partner companies creating adapters. The project is hosted on GitHub, with further details available in the launch post and on MarkTechPost.
