version
Identifies a declared version for a site, page, resource, implementation, or protocol-related context when version identity is needed.
MSP-1 Namespace Term
msp:protocol
Identifies the semantic protocol being used and binds the declaration to a specific MSP-1 version.
Definition
msp:protocol declares the protocol identity for MSP-1 metadata. In MSP-1 v1.0.1, the canonical form is an object containing the protocol name and implemented version.
This term helps AI agents, validators, and implementation tools recognize MSP-1 metadata and apply the correct version-specific expectations.
Usage
{
"protocol": {
"name": "MSP-1",
"version": "1.0.1"
}
}Site-level declarations may also include a compatibility range and documentation reference.
{
"protocol": {
"name": "MSP-1",
"version": "1.0.1",
"supportedVersionRange": "MSP-1.0.x",
"documentation": "https://msp-1.org/spec/"
}
}Legacy flat-string usage, such as "protocol": "MSP-1", should not be emitted by current MSP-1 v1.0.1 tools. Validators may treat it as legacy drift and issue an advisory warning when graceful degradation is appropriate.
