    "summary": "The protocol and client path that carries inference requests from an\n`AgentCoreImpl` to a `Provider`, plus optional proxies or gateways that\ninterpose between them. This layer is modeled as one top-level layer; wire\nprotocol, client library, and proxy behavior are responsibilities/examples,\nnot nested layer nodes.\n",
    "responsibilities": [
      "Encode request, response, streaming, tool-call, and error payloads.",
      "Run the in-process client or adapter that speaks the provider protocol.",
      "Optionally route through a proxy, gateway, recorder, or policy interposer."
    ],
    "examples": [
      "OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Chat Completions, Anthropic Messages, Gemini GenerateContent.",
      "HTTP, SSE, WebSocket, gRPC, OpenAI-compatible gateways.",
      "LangChain chat-model adapters and transport clients."
    ],
    "fitNotes": "Custom-agent frameworks often hide transport behind model abstractions.\nGateway products may occupy mostly this layer while delegating core/runtime\nbehavior upward.\n"
