Google has open-sourced SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh) under Apache-2.0 — and it has nothing to do with Segment Anything. 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.
