OpenSea announced it is proposing the Ethereum open standard ERC-8257 (Agent Tools Registry), positioning it as an AI agent tools marketplace. The four-layer architecture consists of MCP, ERC-8004, ERC-8257, and x402. The core is made up of a tool list and access predicates, where predicates can be queried for states such as NFT ownership. The example shows an agent, after receiving a 403, buys an NFT on Base and retries; it ultimately responds with 200, and the entire process requires no human intervention. It is currently in draft stage, and OpenSea invites developers to contribute tools.
