The Landmark Protocol Mission

Enabling autonomous AI agents to interact with system interfaces natively, safely, and with maximum token hygiene.

What is Elemm?

Elemm is a next-generation protocol designed from the ground up to solve the **Swiss Army Knife Paradox** in AI tool calling. While classic Model Context Protocols (MCP) dump hundreds of static tool schemas into the AI's system prompt at startup—creating massive context bloating, skyrocketing token costs, and high hallucination rates—Elemm introduces a dynamic, tiered discovery model.

By leveraging **Semantic Landmarks**, Elemm exposes only a lightweight manifest representing the structure of functional areas. AI agents can browse namespaces lazily, request detailed schemas strictly on-demand, execute complex multi-action sequences, and recover automatically from validation failures via built-in remedies (SmartRepair).

Token Hygiene

Our ResponseSquisher engine applies client-defined filters, column selectors (_select), and pagination constraints directly on the gateway. Agents receive up to 90% fewer tokens compared to raw JSON payloads.

🛡️

Zero-Trust Guardian

A built-in Security Policy Engine recursively inspects nested arguments, sanitizes inputs, protects against regex injections, and enforces whitelists on allowed HTTP routes before execution.

🔗

Multi-Protocol

The Elemm Gateway bridges public REST (OpenAPI) endpoints, complex GraphQL servers, local MCP servers (via stdio), and native FastAPI installations seamlessly under a unified topology.

🛠️

Smart Repair

Forget complex, brittle prompt-tuning. If an agent executes an action with wrong parameters, Elemm handles the error locally and returns actionable Remedies to help the agent self-correct.

Marc Stöcker

Creator & Core Maintainer of Elemm

Marc Stöcker built Elemm to bridge the gap between autonomous agent reasoning and production-grade API architectures. As developers build increasingly complex autonomous workflows, standard tooling protocols fail to scale under production token limits. Marc designed Elemm as an elegant, enterprise-ready, open-source broker to unlock highly reliable, secure, and cost-effective agentic integrations.
