DESCRIPTION:Picture an AI agent subscribed to a real-time event stream\, ca
 lling a large language model on every event that arrives. Over a weekend\,
  across hundreds of thousands of events\, it quietly burns through hundred
 s of dollars. Nothing is technically wrong: every event is valid\, the age
 nt is authenticated\, and no alert fires\, because every existing check wa
 s designed to monitor infrastructure\, not how an autonomous agent consume
 s a stream.\n\nAs autonomous agents become primary API consumers\, event s
 treams are where this shift bites hardest. Developers build agent systems 
 on raw event streams and they work. But in production\, three things break
 . Agents can't discover what channels exist without hardcoded configuratio
 ns. Any agent can subscribe to any topic because there's no channel-level 
 access boundary. And there's no visibility into what each agent is consumi
 ng or what it costs when a high-throughput stream triggers LLM calls on ev
 ery event.\n\nThis talk proposes three questions that define an agent-read
 y event platform: Is it discoverable? Is access scoped? Is consumption obs
 ervable? This talk uses a primary scenario of agents consuming a WebSocket
  stream backed by Kafka to show what AsyncAPI v3 provides: describable cha
 nnels\, schema contracts\, and security documentation that your gateway la
 yer can enforce. We walk through a real spec snippet. We cover the governa
 nce patterns that address the failure modes above\, what exists in tooling
  today\, and what still requires custom implementation. And we look at whe
 re AsyncAPI fits alongside MCP and OpenAPI in the emerging agent stack.
