Summary

This proposal introduces the Canton AI Agent, an open-source, modular assistant designed to automate complex developer and user workflows. It leverages a "Dual-Engine" architecture separating agile, declarative workflows (Skills) from robust, secure execution tools (MCP Servers) to streamline wallet operations, node deployment, and API interactions within the Canton ecosystem.

Notes for Reviewers

• This proposal focuses on introducing an "Executable Automation Layer" rather than replacing existing Canton documentation.
• It emphasizes a unique separation of concerns: community-auditable Skills (SOPs) paired with enterprise-grade MCP Servers (Execution Tools).
• The milestones are structured over 3 months, focusing first on building the foundational executable skills, followed by the tool integration layer, and finally the agent service.
