Show HN: IntentusNet-A Secure IntentRouter and Runtime for Multi-Agent WorkflowsHi HN,Over the last few months I’ve been working on IntentusNet, a small, language-agnostic runtime for routing “intents” between agents and tools, with optional encryption and multiple transports.GitHub: https://github.com/Balchandar/intentusnetWhat problem this tries to solveMost multi-agent / tool-calling setups I’ve seen end up as a lot of ad-hoc glue:- custom message formats between each agent - hand-rolled routing and fallback logic - HTTP in one place, WebSocket in another, maybe ZeroMQ somewhere else - no consistent tracing or error model - no clear place to add security (encryption, provenance, identity chain)MCP is great for describing tools, but it doesn’t try to be a runtime or router. I wanted something that sits underneath or alongside MCP and other stacks, and just answers:“Given an intent, which agent should handle it, through which transport, with what fallback, and how do we wrap it securely?”What IntentusNet provides (today)At the core it has a few small primitives:-
