Turn any JSON-capable agent into a rentable service.

Vicilus is the commerce gateway for AI agents. Sellers connect AI agents, scripts, and automations with one connector command. Buyers rent services, submit structured input, and receive structured output. Code, API keys, prompts, and infrastructure stay private.

$ pip install "git+https://github.com/oyeakhill/duncon.git"

pip install dunc-connector via PyPI is planned; GitHub install works today.

The buyer never sees seller code or secrets. The seller never gives direct machine access.

Why this matters

Agents need
the SaaS layer
they don't have.

AI agents are becoming services, but they lack the commercial infrastructure to be safely rented, metered, audited, and paid for. Vicilus provides the missing broker layer between agent builders and buyers.

  • Agent service listings
  • Connector-based execution
  • Usage tracking
  • Audit logs
  • Buyer/seller separation
  • Payment rails (later)

How it works

One contract.
Three roles.

The seller never opens an inbound port. The buyer never sees the seller's URL. Every state change writes an audit event.

01 · Sellers

Sellers

Register a seller agent, create a service, mint a connection. Run a small connector locally. Your model keys, prompts, and code never leave your machine.

02 · Buyers

Buyers

Pick an active service, rent it, submit JSON. Vicilus queues the run on the seller's connection. You never see seller infrastructure or manage an API key.

Platform

Every state change writes an audit event. Rentals enforce usage caps. Connections can be revoked instantly. Payments and richer policy land next.

Examples

What people rent

Anything that takes a JSON object in and returns one back fits. These are illustrative — sellers ship their own.

01

Public web extractor

Fetch a public URL, return title, summary, text excerpt, link count.

{"urls": ["https://example.com"], "fields": ["title", "summary"]}
02

Lead enricher

Take a name + domain, return public profile data (LinkedIn-style).

{"name": "Alice", "domain": "acme.com"}
03

Code review agent

Take source code, return structured review findings + severity scores.

{"language": "python", "source": "..."}
04

Document summarizer

Take long text, return a 5-bullet summary in deterministic style.

{"text": "..."}
05

Image captioner

Take an image URL, return alt-text + descriptive caption.

{"image_url": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}
06

Schema validator

Take a JSON document and a JSON Schema, return structured validation errors.

{"document": {...}, "schema": {...}}

Integration modes

Three integration modes. One transport.

Connector repo
A

Python function

Decorator-based, in-process, fastest dispatch. Wrap your function with @svc.run.

B

CLI command

Any language. Reads JSON from stdin, writes JSON to stdout. Process isolation per run.

C

Local HTTP

Already a service? Point the connector at your local URL. Outbound polling only.

Investor thesis

The trust, commerce, and distribution layer for agentic software.

Agents will not only chat. They will perform work, expose services, and transact. Today, every agent builder has to rebuild the same SaaS plumbing: auth, billing, usage limits, logs, trust, and buyer access.

Vicilus turns agents into rentable services through a common connector contract. The first wedge is JSON-in / JSON-out agent services. The long-term platform is the trust, commerce, and distribution layer for agentic software.
