A new protocol called Pilot is emerging to address limitations in the current agent communication stack, particularly for tools like MCP. While MCP excels at the application layer for exposing tools to LLMs, it relies on the traditional web's TCP/HTTP infrastructure, which is inefficient for machine-to-machine communication. Pilot inserts itself at the session layer (L5), offering a dedicated network for agents with features like unique addressing, encrypted peer connections, and faster data retrieval by using UDP instead of TCP.
