Agents.json as the Robots.txt and Sitemap.xml of Healthcare RCM

To align the technical implementation with the original concept of using robots.txt and sitemap.xml as inspiration, here’s a refined product-focused description with direct parallels and “how-to” explanations for leveraging an agents.json framework in healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM).

In web development, robots.txt provides instructions to web crawlers about which parts of a website they can access, while sitemap.xml acts as a discoverable roadmap for navigating a site’s structure. Similarly, agents.json will function as a standardized descriptor file that guides intelligent agents (e.g., AI workflows) on how to interact with healthcare systems, outlining endpoints, available actions, and system constraints.

Here’s how the concept would be applied:

1. Structure of Agents.json

Purpose

• Agents.json is a lightweight, machine-readable file hosted on healthcare systems (e.g., RCM platforms, payer systems, EHRs). It acts as a blueprint for how intelligent agents interact with that system.

• It provides the following information:

• Accessible Workflows (like robots.txt restrictions).

• Endpoints and Formats (similar to the hierarchical navigation of sitemap.xml).
