Meet SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh): A Zero-Config, Zero-Trust P2P Network for AI Agents

Google has open-sourced SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh) under the Apache-2.0 license, a zero-config, zero-trust P2P overlay that enables autonomous agents to discover and call each other's MCP tools across cloud, on-prem, laptop, and edge environments without exposing internal endpoints. Identity flows from OIDC into Biscuit capability tokens, allowing nodes to authorize every request offline under a strict default-deny model.

SAM is a zero-config, zero-trust P2P overlay that lets autonomous agents discover and call each other's MCP tools across cloud, on-prem, laptop and edge environments, without exposing a single internal endpoint to the public internet. Identity flows from OIDC into Biscuit capability tokens, so nodes authorize every request offline under a strict default-deny model.
