dsh-ask-peer

When building multi-agent systems, inter-agent communication often relies on central servers or shared databases, leading to single points of failure, privacy risks, and control bottlenecks. The dsh-ask-peer plugin addresses these issues with a decentralized design, enabling agents to communicate directly over a LAN in a peer-to-peer manner, with each agent maintaining its own copy of relationships for true autonomy and a trust network. Core capabilities include peer-to-peer asking and recommendation mechanisms: agents can use tools like ask_peer or ask_peers to directly query other agents and receive answers grounded in session context; through recommend_peer, agents can discover new friends using signed friend cards to establish trust, ensuring verifiable and secure recommendation chains, while the bounded search design limits hops and fan-out to prevent asking storms. dsh-ask-peer is ideal for scenarios requiring agent collaboration and knowledge sharing, such as multi-agent environments in development teams, builders of decentralized applications, or any system where agents need to interact autonomously without central control, allowing agents to help each other like colleagues, share expertise, and preserve privacy and autonomy.
