AI Data Platform AI Registry

What Is Oracle AI Data Platform? (2:09)

Oracle AI Data Platform gives organizations one governed place to register, discover, and manage enterprise AI capabilities. Administrators use AI Registry to register agents, MCP servers, tools, and skills in a shared inventory, along with information such as ownership, dependencies, access permissions, and required checks. Teams can then find and reuse existing capabilities, monitor usage and costs, and manage their lifecycle with the information and controls needed to make them available across applications and workflows.

Why Oracle AI Data Platform AI Registry?

  • Manage AI growth with visibility and control

    Bring agents, MCP servers, tools, and skills into a shared inventory. Track ownership, dependencies, and access permissions to manage AI capabilities as adoption grows.

  • Find and reuse existing AI capabilities

    Use descriptions and metadata to find existing capabilities, understand their purpose, and check who can access them. Reduce duplicate development and make informed choices about what to reuse.

  • Connect an open ecosystem to a governed experience

    Register fully A2A-compliant agents from Oracle and non-Oracle applications and make approved capabilities discoverable and available according to access rules.

How AI Registry works

AI Registry provides a shared foundation for discovering, governing, and reusing enterprise AI capabilities. Teams register capabilities, describe what they do, and manage their availability and access through supported applications and assistant interfaces.

  • Register agents and tools

    Register A2A-compliant agents built in Oracle AI Data Platform or other supported environments, including third-party agents. Add relevant MCP servers, their associated tools, and reusable skills to the shared inventory.

  • Describe and govern the capability

    Use the agent’s A2A agent card to describe its purpose and capabilities. Add descriptions and metadata for MCP servers and their associated tools. Record ownership and dependencies, and configure role-based access controls for registered capabilities.

  • Provide access through supported interfaces

    Discover and invoke approved capabilities through Agent Hub or compatible assistants, such as Claude and ChatGPT, using supported integrations and configured permissions. Agent Hub is Oracle AI Data Platform’s business-user experience for working with approved enterprise agents. It provides a conversational experience that can help users identify and coordinate the right agent or agents for a task while keeping interaction history and generated outputs together by session.

Explore AI Registry in AI Data Platform

AI Registry gives teams a central place to register, organize, and govern enterprise AI capabilities. Administrators manage ownership and access, developers discover capabilities they can reuse, and users access approved agents through supported experiences that fit their work.

Bring agents into AI Registry

Register agents from across the enterprise

Add any fully A2A-compliant agent, whether it was built in AI Data Platform, an Oracle application, or another agent platform.

Register reusable tools and skills

Register approved MCP servers, tools, and reusable skills so capabilities can be shared across agents rather than rebuilt for every project.

Describe capabilities for discovery and routing

Capture an A2A agent card and quality metadata, such as name, description, owner, domain, authentication, and supported capabilities, so users and routing services can identify the right agent.

Organize capabilities around business needs

Group related capabilities into Topics

Organize agents and supporting capabilities around a business area or use case, helping administrators structure what is available.

Provide context for discovery

Topics provide additional context for identifying capabilities relevant to a user’s request.

Bring relevant capabilities together

A finance Topic, for example, can bring together invoice and budget agents, forecasting tools, and relevant finance data.

Govern the enterprise agent estate

Control availability with roles

Apply role-based access controls to registered agents, MCP servers, and tools so only authorized users can discover and use each capability.

Establish ownership and accountability

Use consistent metadata to identify who registered an agent, what business purpose it serves, and which systems or capabilities it depends on.

Manage capabilities throughout their lifecycle

Track versions and required policy checks and support testing and review as registered capabilities evolve.

Monitor behavior, usage, and cost

Gain visibility into how registered capabilities behave, how often they are used, and their associated costs to inform ongoing management.

Access agents and tools through supported experiences

Choose an access method that fits the work

Use AI Registry to access your agents through tools such as ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, or Oracle AI Data Platform Agent Hub.

Use registry-informed discovery and routing

Provide descriptions, capability metadata, and access information that supported experiences can use to identify relevant agents and tools for a request.

Work conversationally through Agent Hub

Use Agent Hub to ask questions, request actions, and interact with approved agents or MCP tools through a consistent conversational experience.

Continue work with context and oversight

Preserve sessions

Let users return to ongoing work with prior interaction context available instead of restarting every agent conversation.

Retain agent-generated outputs

Keep the outputs produced during an interaction—such as reports, analyses, or other response artifacts—without turning Agent Hub into the store for the underlying enterprise data.

Support enterprise oversight

Use enterprise identity, logging, and tracing to understand activity. Required human approvals remain part of the underlying agent or business workflow.

Agents vs. Workflows: Where Does the ROI Actually Live?

Most enterprises aren’t failing with AI agents because of the technology—they’re failing because they’re using agents where simple workflows would do the job better. This blog explains the key differences between workflows and autonomous agents, and how choosing the right approach impacts ROI, scalability, governance, and cost. It also provides a practical framework for deciding when agentic AI is truly worth the investment.
