WorkOS Launches Auth.md — an Open Protocol for Agent Registration

My thanks to WorkOS for sponsoring DF last week to promote Auth.md, their new open protocol for AI agent registration. Sign-up forms were built for humans in browsers, so how do AI agents programmatically register with services? That’s the question Auth.md aims to answer. By exposing a single, machine-readable Markdown file at your service root, AI agents can dynamically discover your OAuth Protected Resource Metadata, parse required scopes, and authenticate seamlessly. Markdown, baby. Who’d have thunk it?
