Skill-as-API: Confidential Multi-Agent Coordination for Agentic Software Engineering
Skill-as-API wraps AI coding agents in confidential-compute envelopes so they can collaborate via MCP/A2A without exposing proprietary logic—relevant as agentic dev tooling enters enterprise CI/CD.

arXiv:2609.01677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents are evolving from solitary tools into collaborative teammates that discover and invoke one another's specialized skills. But the coordination channel itself can leak a skill's intellectual property. Protocols such as MCP and A2A run implementations server-side, yet they still publish each skill's description and typed schemas to every peer, offer no way to hide a skill's existence, and cannot guarantee that a wrapped system prompt
Editorial Analysis
As enterprises adopt multi-agent coding assistants, unprotected coordination channels risk leaking proprietary algorithms and trade secrets to third-party agents.
Audit AI coding-agent coordination channels for IP exposure before broadening multi-agent deployments.
