CAICT and 20 firms release agent self-discipline pact

KEY FACTS

On November 4, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and 20 organizations including Huawei, Tencent and Alibaba released the Agent Development Self-Discipline Convention at the Wuzhen Summit.
The convention contains eight provisions covering agent identity verification, cross-platform interoperability, tiered authorization and security protection.
On October 14, Doubao published a refusal list on which 155 apps declined its screen-automation operations.
The refusal list includes 66 apps in the Tencent ecosystem, 23 in the Alibaba ecosystem, 14 in the Kuaishou ecosystem and 11 in the Meituan ecosystem.
On October 12, StepFun released STEPX Neo, partnering with nearly 100 companies through open interfaces.

KEY DATA

20Signatory institutions

155Apps refusing Doubao

66Tencent ecosystem refusals

Nearly 100StepFun partner companies

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The self-discipline convention is only a framework and does not solve the practical problem of Doubao being refused. Platforms open their interfaces but keep their core businesses, so agent access still depends on commercial bargaining. The mismatch between user authorization and platform permission is a long-term contradiction, and the industry needs mutually recognized identity and authorization standards, not a piece of paper.
