What is an agent plugin?

Definition

An artificial intelligence agent plugin adds a bounded capability to an agent environment. It may connect an external service, expose approved tools, register a specialized mode, or supply reusable workflow instructions.

Plugins can make an agent adaptable without permanently changing its core. Each plugin should have clear provenance, permissions, lifecycle controls, compatibility checks, and a safe removal procedure.
