Manifest

Every AWP document has four top-level fields.

apiVersion: awp.agenticworkflowprotocol.org/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow          # Workflow, Agent or Policy
metadata:
  name: invoice-processing
  version: 1.2.0
  owner:
    team: finance-ai
spec: {}                # kind-specific

• kind is one of Workflow, Agent (a reusable agent definition) or Policy (a reusable rule set).
• Unknown fields are rejected. Extensions use the x- prefix. See Unknown fields and extensions.
• Names, versions, durations, timestamps and digests have fixed formats (Document model).
• A JSON Schema expresses the structural rules; the specification lists the semantic rules the schema cannot express.

Normative text: Document model, Metadata.
