Docker Agent packages AI agents as OCI artifacts for docker push
Docker Engineering open-sourced docker-agent (Apache-2.0), a CLI plugin that defines an AI agent in YAML and ships it to any OCI-compatible registry via docker agent share push. Agents run straight from the registry with docker agent run myorg/agent:tag, with DSSE/in-toto signing and digest pinning. The plugin ships pre-installed in Docker Desktop 4.63+.
- Agents are YAML files with model, instruction and toolsets, including MCP servers
- Push to Docker Hub or GHCR as an OCI artifact with signing and digest pinning
- Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Mistral, xAI and local Model Runner
- Multi-agent setups via sub_agents delegation and handoffs in one session
