Why it matters

In this session, we'll be building a coding agent that implements ACP — covering protocol design, session lifecycle management, and handling tool calls. The session ends with a live demo of the finished agent running inside Zed, showing what ACP looks like in practice from both sides of the protocol.

My takeaway: Building an ACP-Compatible Agent Live — Bennet Fenner, Zed is an agent-security signal. The practical read is that autonomy, memory, tool permissions, and third-party integrations are the control surface that needs threat modeling and monitoring.
