## Definition

The **agentic web** is the extension of today's internet into a network where software agents **take action on your behalf** — using tools, making changes in systems, and consulting rich, diverse information sources — over a plumbed ecosystem that lets agents talk to the websites and APIs that already exist.

The term **agentic web** names the extension of today's internet into a network where software **agents take action on your behalf** — not just answer questions. As used in this channel's material, the term captures a vision of the web in which agents **use tools**, **make changes in systems**, and consult **rich, diverse information sources** while working for the person who dispatched them.[^385ed583-4107-5c5a-b47a-33e1dde27a3b]For the agentic web to work well, the ecosystem needs to look a lot like the internet itself: a **plumbed network** where agents can talk to the websites and APIs that already exist. Kevin Scott describes the parallel directly:> For that to work well, the ecosystem needs to look a lot like the internet itself — a plumbed network where agents can talk to the websites and APIs that already exist.If you already run a website or an API serving people, the practical question is how to **plumb things through** so agents can reach those resources. Scott pushes for all of Microsoft's internal systems to speak a **standard protocol** to every agent the company writes — a foundational layer much like the core internet protocols that became the plumbing of the web. This is why the term shows up alongside **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**: the agentic web is the destination, and standard protocols are the bridge that connects agents to today's internet architecture.- **Agentic web** = an internet extended so agents act on your behalf, use tools, and make changes in systems.- It depends on **rich, diverse information sources** being reachable through the existing web of sites and APIs.- A **standard protocol** connecting internal systems to agents is the key infrastructure layer enabling it.
