The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) updated its entry criteria for AI agentic projects hosted on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) platforms by adding a new 'sandbox' stage to accommodate early-stage projects, lowering barriers for innovation and participation outside member organizations.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You now have a clear path to get early AI agentic projects noticed via AAIF's sandbox stage, opening doors for innovation outside established players. Non-member companies can join working groups, giving you a low-bar entry to shape protocols used in production.
