1. Abstract

Open Service Profile (OSP) is a machine-readable description of a local service business for AI agents. A business publishes one JSON manifest at a well-known path. The manifest states who the business is, where it operates, which services it offers, which ZIP codes or radius it covers, when it is open, and how an agent may submit a booking request. OSP also defines six tools an agent may call over the Model Context Protocol (MCP): five read tools and one write tool. Every booking in OSP is a request. The business confirms the appointment by its own process. OSP defines three conformance levels so a business with only a website and structured data can conform today, and a business with a live scheduling engine can expose availability and accept requests.

2. Motivation and prior art

2.1 Motivation

In 2026 consumer AI agents began telephoning local service businesses on behalf of customers. The agent asks the questions a dispatcher hears every day: do you cover this ZIP code, can a technician come tomorrow morning, what is the after-hours rate. A business that cannot answer quickly is dropped from the shortlist before the customer sees it. The answers to those questions are not secrets. They are facts the business already publishes in fragments across its website, its Google Business Profile, and its scheduling software. OSP puts those facts in one file the business owns, at a path every agent can find, in a shape every agent can parse. The phone call still works. The file answers first.

OSP makes no claim about search visibility or ranking. Its claim is that agents reading the manifest and tools give correct answers where HTML alone leaves them guessing, and that claim is subject to the published interoperability experiment at /standards/open-service-profile/experiments/.

2.2 Prior art

Several standards touch this problem. None solves it.

standardwhat it coverswhat it lacks for service businesses
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)Retail cart, checkout, order, catalog, identity linking; lodging and food specifications added in 2026. Capability manifest at /.well-known/ucp.No field-service or appointment vertical, no coverage, no windows. OSP adopts its well-known manifest pattern.
schema.org LocalBusiness, Service, OfferCatalog, ScheduleActionInline JSON-LD describing a business, its services, and an action entry point. areaServed, hoursAvailable, and availableChannel exist on Service, and ReservationPending already expresses an unconfirmed request.What is missing: structured coverage (postal-code lists, radius), booking windows, minimum lead time, an input schema for a request, and a rule that servers may not assert confirmation. OSP adopts schema.org's status vocabulary and requires the markup at Level 1.
llms.txtA Markdown reading surface for language models.Reading only. No typed actions. OSP manifests SHOULD be linked from llms.txt.
Reserve with GoogleSlot-based booking through partner scheduling systems. Supports asynchronous merchant confirmation (PENDING_MERCHANT_CONFIRMATION), but the flow must be based on real-time slot availability from the merchant's own system, and merchants may not propose a different time.Dispatch trades have no slot inventory, quote first, and confirm by phone. OSP models windows and requests without slot inventory.
Local Service MCP (Lokuli / BookingClaw)A marketplace directory exposing provider search, availability, and paid booking to agents over MCP.Business-owned endpoint; the business lists on a third-party directory rather than publishing its own profile. OSP is the self-hosted complement.
MCP server card, agent-skills indexTransport discovery for MCP servers; the MCP Server Card working group is still defining the well-known metadata convention as of the 2026-07-28 release candidate. Agent skills give usage guidance for tools.No domain vocabulary. The card shape OSP references in section 4.3 is an OSP convention until the MCP convention is final.

3. Terminology and conventions

The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 and RFC 8174 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals.

Business. One legal or trading entity that performs services for customers at customer premises or at its own premises. A manifest describes exactly one business at one origin, with any number of locations. One origin carries one manifest. Multiple brands sharing one origin is out of scope for v0.1; see section 9.

Service model. Where work happens. on_site means the business travels to the customer's address. in_shop means the customer brings the vehicle, boat, or item to a business location. both means the business does either. The service model determines whether coverage is required and whether a service address or vehicle details belong in a booking request; see section 5.2.

Location. A physical premises of the business: a shop, yard, or office. A business has one or more locations. A location has an address, optional geo coordinates, optional phone, and hours.

Service. One named unit of work the business sells, identified by a slug that is stable across the manifest and all tools.

Coverage. The set of places the business will travel to or accept customers from. Expressed as a list of five-digit US ZIP codes, a radius in miles around a location, or both.

Window. A named part of a day during which the business may arrive or receive the customer. OSP defines three fixed window ids: Morning, Afternoon, Evening. A business MAY publish start and end clock times for them and MAY add custom windows, which MUST carry start, end, and a human label. A window is not a time slot: start and end say when the window falls, not when the technician will arrive.

Requestable window. A window on a date for which the business accepts booking requests, derived from published hours and booking policy. It says nothing about whether the business has capacity. Agents MUST describe a requestable window as "the business accepts requests for" that window, never as "available".

Available window. A window on a date that a connected scheduling calendar reports as open. Only a server in calendar mode (section 6.5) may report one. Even an available window yields a booking request, not a confirmation.

Booking request. A structured statement from an agent, on behalf of a named customer who has approved it, asking the business to schedule a named service on a preferred date and optionally in a preferred window. A booking request creates a pending record. It does not create an appointment.

Request, not confirmation. OSP fixes the semantics of every booking to request. A conforming server MUST NOT return any field, flag, or text asserting that an appointment exists, that a time is reserved, or that a technician is assigned, as a result of a booking request. The server MAY report that the request was received, that a duplicate was detected, or that a downstream scheduling record was created for staff review. The business confirms the appointment through its own process, typically by contacting the customer using the contact method the customer authorized.

Agent. Software acting for a human principal that reads the manifest or calls tools. The agent is not the business and is not the customer.

Conformance level. One of three cumulative levels defined in section 8. A higher level includes every requirement of the lower levels.

Reference implementation. The implementation maintained by the specification maintainer and deployed on its client websites. Appendix D records where the reference implementation diverges from this draft.

All dates in OSP are calendar dates in the business's own time zone, formatted YYYY-MM-DD. All times of day, when present, are HH:MM in 24-hour form in the business's time zone. Time zones are IANA names such as America/New_York.

4. Discovery

4.1 The well-known manifest

A conforming business MUST serve its manifest at:

https://<origin>/.well-known/open-service-profile

Requirements:

  • The response MUST use HTTP status 200 and Content-Type: application/json. A server MAY additionally serve the same document at /.well-known/open-service-profile.json.
  • The response MUST be readable cross-origin. The server MUST send Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * or an equivalent that permits anonymous GET from any origin.
  • The response SHOULD be cacheable. A Cache-Control max-age between 1 hour and 24 hours is RECOMMENDED. An ETag or Last-Modified header SHOULD be sent.
  • The manifest MUST validate against Appendix A for the specVersion it declares.
  • If the business serves content on both an apex host and a www host, the manifest MUST be reachable at the canonical host the business's sitemap uses, and the other host SHOULD redirect.
  • A business that is not ready to publish MUST return 404. It MUST NOT publish a placeholder manifest containing invented facts.

A conforming origin SHOULD advertise the manifest from its HTML pages with an HTTP Link header:

Link: </.well-known/open-service-profile>; rel="service-profile"; type="application/json"

A conforming origin that serves an llms.txt file SHOULD list the manifest in that file with a one-line description, and SHOULD list the MCP endpoint when Level 2 or higher is claimed.

4.3 Relationship to other discovery documents

OSP references, and does not restate, the following. Where a business publishes them, the manifest interfaces object SHOULD carry their URLs.

  • MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json. States the MCP transport and tool names. A Level 2 business SHOULD publish a server card whose tool list includes the OSP tool names it implements, in the shape given after this list.
  • Agent-skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. Usage guidance for agents. OPTIONAL.
  • robots.txt AI crawler rules. OSP does not change crawler policy. A business that blocks AI crawlers from its HTML pages MAY still serve the manifest; agents fetching the well-known path are not crawlers.
  • schema.org JSON-LD in HTML pages. Required at Level 1; see section 8.

Server card minimal shape. This shape is an OSP convention, to be replaced by the MCP Server Card format when published; implementations SHOULD emit both when they differ. When a card is published, OSP expects these fields and permits any additional fields the card format defines:

fieldrequirement
serverInfo.nameREQUIRED. The business display name.
transport.typeREQUIRED. The string "streamable-http".
transport.urlREQUIRED. The MCP endpoint URL, equal to interfaces.mcp.url.
capabilities.tools[].nameREQUIRED. One entry per OSP tool the server implements, using the exact OSP tool names.
{
  "serverInfo": { "name": "Palmetto Air & Heat", "version": "1.0.0" },
  "transport": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://palmettoairheat.example/api/mcp" },
  "capabilities": {
    "tools": [
      { "name": "get_business_info" },
      { "name": "list_services" },
      { "name": "check_coverage" },
      { "name": "get_reviews" },
      { "name": "check_availability" },
      { "name": "request_service_booking" }
    ]
  }
}

5. The manifest document

Unknown top-level fields MUST be ignored by consumers. Producers MUST NOT place vendor-specific data at the top level; a producer MAY use an extensions object keyed by reverse-DNS names.

5.2 business

fieldtypeREQUIRED atdescription
displayNamestring, 1 to 120Level 1The name customers know.
legalNamestring, 1 to 200OPTIONALRegistered entity name if different.
tradesarray of string, 1 to 5Level 1Short lowercase labels describing what the business does. See the trades rule below. A conforming manifest MUST declare this explicitly. A producer MAY default it from the operator's market, but the default MUST be reviewed by the business before publication.
serviceModelstring enum on_site, in_shop, bothLevel 1Where work happens. See the service model rule below.
parentOrganizationobject { name, url }OPTIONALA holding company or franchisor that owns this business. name is a string up to 200; url is a URL. Descriptive only: the manifest still describes this business, not the parent.
reviewProfilesarray of URL, up to 10OPTIONALThe business's public review profiles: Google Business Profile, Yelp, and similar. URLs only. A manifest MUST NOT carry ratings or review counts; fresh review data comes from get_reviews at Level 2.
descriptionstring, up to 600OPTIONALPlain prose. No claims not made elsewhere on the site.
websiteUrlstring, URLLevel 1Canonical site origin.

timeZonestring, IANALevel 1Governs every date and time in the manifest and tools.

Trades rule. Each entry in trades is a short label, 1 to 60 characters. Where schema.org defines a LocalBusiness subtype for the trade, the label MUST be that type name exactly as schema.org spells it: HVACBusiness, Plumber, Electrician, AutoRepair, RoofingContractor, HousePainter, Locksmith, MovingCompany, GeneralContractor, and similar. Where no subtype exists, the label is plain lowercase descriptive text such as "boat repair" or "landscaping". Consumers MUST treat trades as descriptive text, not a controlled vocabulary: they MAY use a schema.org type name to pick a JSON-LD @type and MUST NOT reject a manifest for an unrecognized label.

Service model rule. serviceModel has these consequences, and a validator MUST enforce them:

valuemeaningconsequences
on_siteWork is performed at the customer's address.coverage is REQUIRED. bookingPolicy.requiresAddress defaults to true. customer.vehicle is not accepted: a server MUST ignore it and MUST NOT return an error because it was sent.
in_shopThe customer brings the vehicle, boat, or item to a business location.coverage is OPTIONAL; when present it describes where customers typically come from and where any pickup or towing referral applies. When absent, check_coverage answers as described in section 6.4. bookingPolicy.requiresAddress defaults to false. customer.vehicle is accepted in booking requests.
bothThe business does either, for example a marine yard that also sends a technician to the customer's marina.coverage is REQUIRED. bookingPolicy.requiresAddress defaults to true. customer.vehicle is accepted when bookingPolicy.vehicleDetailsAccepted is true; otherwise a server MUST ignore it and MUST NOT return an error because it was sent.

5.3 locations[]

postalCodestring, five-digit ZIPyes
countrystring, const "US"yes

OSP v0.1 is scoped to United States addresses. country MUST be "US", region MUST be a two-letter USPS state or territory code, and postalCode MUST be a five-digit ZIP code. International addresses are deferred to a later version; see section 9.

5.3.2 Hours

Hours are a weekly table plus exceptions.

{
  "weekly": {
    "monday":    { "open": "08:00", "close": "17:00" },
    "tuesday":   { "open": "08:00", "close": "17:00" },
    "wednesday": { "open": "08:00", "close": "17:00" },
    "thursday":  { "open": "08:00", "close": "17:00" },
    "friday":    { "open": "08:00", "close": "17:00" },
    "saturday":  "closed",
    "sunday":    "closed"
  },
  "exceptions": [
    { "date": "2026-11-26", "status": "closed", "label": "Thanksgiving" },
    { "date": "2026-12-24", "open": "08:00", "close": "12:00", "label": "Christmas Eve" }
  ],
  "note": "Emergency service available around the clock."
}

Rules:

  • Every weekday key MUST be present. A value is either the string "closed", the string "24_hours", or an object with open and close.
  • exceptions is OPTIONAL. Each entry has a date and either status: "closed" or an open and close pair. label is OPTIONAL.
  • note is OPTIONAL free text, up to 200 characters.
  • Hours describe when the business answers and works. They are not availability. Availability is section 6.5.

5.4 services[]

fieldtypeREQUIRED atdescription
slugstring, ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$, up to 80Level 1Stable identifier. The serviceSlug argument in tools. Unique within the manifest.

categorystring, slugOPTIONALA parent grouping such as cooling or brakes.
descriptionstring, up to 600OPTIONAL
urlstring, URLOPTIONALThe service's own page.
pricePresentationstring, up to 120OPTIONALText exactly as the business publishes it, such as "Diagnostic fee $89, applied to repair". Producers MUST NOT invent, estimate, or normalize prices. Absent means the business does not publish a price. When absent, agents MUST describe pricing as quoted on request and MUST NOT estimate a price.
bookablebooleanOPTIONAL, default trueFalse for services that require a quote visit first. A false value tells agents to use contactMethods rather than request_service_booking.
locationIdsarray of stringOPTIONALRestricts the service to listed locations. Absent means all locations.

5.5 coverage

{
  "postalCodes": ["33844", "33837", "33838"],
  "radius": [
    { "locationId": "haines-city", "miles": 25 }
  ],
  "areaNames": ["Haines City", "Davenport", "Winter Haven"],
  "note": "Service outside these areas by arrangement."
}
fieldtypeREQUIRED atdescription
postalCodesarray of 5-digit stringsone of postalCodes or radius when coverage is presentExact ZIP codes served.
radiusarray of { locationId, miles }one of postalCodes or radius when coverage is presentStraight-line distance from a location with geo.
areaNamesarray of stringOPTIONALHuman labels for the served area. Never used for matching.
notestring, up to 200OPTIONAL

coverage is REQUIRED when business.serviceModel is on_site or both and OPTIONAL when it is in_shop. When present, at least one of postalCodes or radius MUST be present. When both are present, a place is covered if either matches. Coverage in v0.1 is expressed only in five-digit US ZIP codes and miles from a US location. The reference implementation's live sites publish coverage as exact ZIP lists derived from their service-area pages and shop locations; radius is defined here for businesses without a ZIP list.

5.6 certifications[]

An array of strings, each up to 120 characters, exactly as the business states them: "NATE certified", "Florida CAC1819999", "ASE Master Technician". Producers MUST NOT infer certifications from trade membership or from templates.

5.7 bookingPolicy

fieldtypeREQUIRED atdescription
windowsarray of WindowLevel 1Windows the business offers. Section 5.7.1.
minimumDaysAheadinteger, 0 to 60Level 1Earliest requestable date, in whole calendar days from today in business.timeZone. 1 means tomorrow at the earliest.
maximumDaysAheadinteger, 1 to 365OPTIONAL, default 60Latest requestable date.
weekendRequestsstring enum allowed, not_allowed, saturday_onlyLevel 1Whether requests for weekend dates are accepted.
emergencyAvailablebooleanLevel 1Whether the business takes urgent calls outside published hours.
afterHoursNotestring, up to 300OPTIONALPlain text describing after-hours or emergency terms exactly as the business states them, such as "After-hours calls answered 24/7; a $150 dispatch fee applies after 6 PM." Subject to the no-invented-facts rule. When absent, agents MUST NOT state an after-hours rate or response time.
contactMethodsarray of call, text, emailLevel 1Methods the business will use to confirm.
requiresAddressbooleanOPTIONAL, default depends on serviceModelWhether a request without a service address will be rejected. Defaults to true for on_site and both, false for in_shop.
vehicleDetailsAcceptedbooleanOPTIONAL, default falseAllowed only when business.serviceModel is both (the manifest schema rejects it otherwise): whether customer.vehicle is accepted in booking requests. in_shop businesses accept it regardless; on_site businesses ignore it.
confirmationNotestring, up to 300OPTIONALPlain statement of how confirmation happens: "Our office calls within one business hour to confirm."

5.7.1 Window

{ "id": "Morning", "label": "Morning", "start": "08:00", "end": "12:00" }
  • id MUST be one of the fixed ids Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or a custom slug matching ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$.
  • For the fixed three, label, start, and end are OPTIONAL. A business SHOULD publish start and end so agents can match a customer's stated time by the clock.
  • Custom windows MUST carry start, end, and label.
  • start and end say when the window falls. They MUST NOT be read by agents as a guaranteed arrival span.
  • A manifest MUST include at least one window.

Default boundaries for policy evaluation. When a fixed window carries no start and end, a server evaluating availability in policy mode (section 6.5) MUST use these local-time boundaries: Morning 08:00 to 12:00, Afternoon 12:00 to 17:00, Evening 17:00 to 20:00. Published start and end override the defaults. A window is offered on a date only if its span overlaps the published open hours for that date. The defaults exist for server-side evaluation; they are not published to agents as facts about the business, and the matching rule below still applies to agents.

Matching rule for consumers. When a customer states a time, an agent MUST choose a window as follows: if the candidate windows carry start and end, match by clock time, choosing the window whose span contains the stated time. If they do not, match by the fixed id alone, using the customary meaning of morning, afternoon, and evening. Labels are never matched. When no window fits, the agent MUST ask the customer rather than guess. The same rule applies to the window ids returned by check_availability and to preferredTime in request_service_booking.

5.8 bookingSemantics

The string "request". No other value is defined in OSP v0.1. This field exists so a future version can define stronger semantics without changing the meaning of v0.1 manifests. Consumers reading a v0.1 manifest MUST treat every booking as a request regardless of any other field.

5.9 interfaces

fieldtypeREQUIRED atdescription
schedulePageUrlstring, URLLevel 1The human booking page. If the business has no dedicated page, its contact page.
mcpobject { url, serverCardUrl? }Level 2Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. serverCardUrl is OPTIONAL and SHOULD be present when a card is published.
restobject { baseUrl, openApiUrl }OPTIONALREST mirror of the tools, if any.
webMcpbooleanOPTIONALTrue when pages register the OSP tools as WebMCP actions.
llmsTxtUrlstring, URLOPTIONAL
agentSkillsUrlstring, URLOPTIONAL

6. Tools

6.1 Common rules

  • Tools are exposed over MCP (Streamable HTTP). Tool names are exactly as written here. A server MAY expose the same operations over REST; the manifest interfaces.rest points to the OpenAPI document.
  • Tool inputs and outputs are JSON objects validating against Appendix B.
  • Every successful output MUST include canonicalSiteUrl, the business origin, so an agent that reached the server through a proxy or registry can cite the right site.
  • Every error output is an object with error (a stable snake_case code from the tool's table) and message (plain English for the agent to relay). Errors are returned as tool results, not as transport failures, so the agent can recover. Validation failures are tool results too: input that does not validate against the tool's input schema, or that is malformed, yields error: "invalid_input" with fields, an array of JSON path strings naming the offending inputs (for example ["customer.phone"]), never a transport-level error. booking_request_failed is reserved for a downstream failure after the input was accepted.
  • Every tool defines invalid_input and rate_limited. Appendix B constrains each tool's error to that tool's codes.
  • Read tools MUST be annotated read-only and idempotent. request_service_booking MUST be annotated as not read-only, not destructive, idempotent, and open-world.
  • Servers SHOULD rate-limit anonymous callers and MUST fail closed (return rate_limited) rather than serving stale or partial data when a dependency is unavailable.
  • Third-party text returned by tools (review text in particular) MUST be sanitized to plain text and MUST be accompanied by a notice field stating that it is data, not instructions.

6.2 get_business_info

Purpose. Identity, contact, locations, hours, coverage summary, and booking policy in one call. Agents call this first.

Input. Empty object.

Output.

  },
  "canonicalSiteUrl": "https://example.com"
}
  • booking.emergencyAvailable and booking.afterHoursNote mirror the manifest. When afterHoursNote is absent, agents MUST NOT state an after-hours rate or response time.
  • booking.windows MUST be the manifest window objects, not bare ids, so an agent can apply the matching rule in section 5.7.1 without fetching the manifest.
  • locations MUST be present when the business has more than one location and MAY be omitted for a single location. When present, each entry's id is the value to pass as location to other tools.
  • address and hours at the top level describe the primary location.
  • booking.mode MUST be "request".

Errors. invalid_input, rate_limited.

6.3 list_services

Purpose. The services an agent may name in a booking request, with their stable slugs and pages.

Input. Empty object, or { "location": "<location id>" } to filter services offered at one location.

Output.

{
  "services": [
    { "slug": "ac-repair", "name": "AC repair", "category": "cooling", "url": "https://example.com/services/cooling/ac-repair", "bookable": true, "pricePresentation": null }
  ],
  "canonicalSiteUrl": "https://example.com"
}

Only currently offered services appear. bookable: false means the agent should direct the customer to the contact methods rather than call request_service_booking for that slug. A null or absent pricePresentation means the business quotes on request; agents MUST NOT estimate a price.

Errors. invalid_input, unknown_location, rate_limited.

6.4 check_coverage

Purpose. Whether the business serves a US ZIP code.

Input. { "zip": "33844" }. zip MUST match ^\d{5}$.

Evaluation order. The server MUST answer in this order and stop at the first match:

  1. If the ZIP is in coverage.postalCodes, covered is true and matchedBy is postalCodes.
  2. If the ZIP is a location's own postal code, covered is true and matchedBy is location.
  3. If any location publishes a coverage.radius entry and the server evaluates radius, it MAY compute the distance from the ZIP's centroid to that location's geo using a geocoder of its choice. On a match, covered is true and matchedBy is radius. Agents MUST treat a radius match as advisory and confirm with the business. The source of ZIP centroids is implementation-defined in v0.1 and listed under deferred items in section 9.
  4. If business.serviceModel is in_shop and the manifest has no coverage, covered is true, matchedBy is in_shop, and message states that the customer brings the vehicle or vessel to the shop.
  5. If radius coverage is published and the server does not evaluate it, the answer is not known: covered is false, matchedBy is unknown, and message tells the agent to confirm with the business. Agents MUST NOT present this as "not covered".
  6. Otherwise covered is false and matchedBy is none.

Output, covered by ZIP list.

  • matchedBy is REQUIRED and is one of postalCodes, location, radius, in_shop, none, unknown. covered: false with matchedBy: "none" means not covered; covered: false with matchedBy: "unknown" means not evaluated. The two MUST be distinguished by agents.
  • areaName is REQUIRED when matchedBy is postalCodes, location, or radius.
  • Coverage is informational. A booking request with an uncovered ZIP MUST NOT be rejected by the server on that ground alone; the business decides when it confirms. The server MAY include a coverageVerified: false flag in the booking response.

Errors. invalid_input (a zip that is not five digits reports fields: ["zip"]), rate_limited.

6.5 check_availability

Purpose. Which windows a business accepts requests for, or has open on a connected calendar, for a service on each date in a range. This tool is new in OSP v0.1 and has two modes, declared in the output.

Input.

{ "serviceSlug": "ac-repair", "from": "2026-09-08", "to": "2026-09-14", "location": "daytona" }
  • from and to are inclusive calendar dates. to MUST be within 31 days of from. Both MUST be within [today + minimumDaysAhead, today + maximumDaysAhead]; dates outside are returned as closed with reason outside_booking_range rather than erroring, so an agent can display the range.
  • location is REQUIRED when the business has more than one location.

Output.

{
  "source": "policy",
  "sourceNote": "Derived from published hours and booking policy, not from a live calendar. A requestable window may be full; the business confirms.",

  ],
  "canonicalSiteUrl": "https://example.com"
}

Modes and window status.

sourcemeaningwindow statusesrequirements
policyComputed only from the manifest: hours, exceptions, minimumDaysAhead, maximumDaysAhead, weekendRequests, and which windows overlap the published open hours for the date. Windows without published start and end use the default boundaries in section 5.7.1.requestable or closedEvery Level 3 server MUST support this mode.
calendarComputed from a live scheduling engine or dispatch board.available or closed; requestable where the calendar cannot answer for a windowOPTIONAL. An available window still yields a booking request, never a reservation.

Each entry in days[].windows is { id, status }. requestable means the business accepts booking requests for the window; it says nothing about capacity. available means a connected calendar reports the window open. closed means requests for the window will be rejected. Agents MUST describe a requestable window as "the business accepts requests for" the window and MUST NOT describe it as available. A server in policy mode MUST NOT emit available.

sourceNote MUST be present in policy mode and MUST state that the answer is derived from policy, not a live calendar. A day whose status is open has at least one window that is not closed.

The output MUST also include windowDefinitions, the manifest window objects for this business, so the agent can apply the matching rule in section 5.7.1 by clock time when start and end are present and by fixed id when they are not.

Day status reasons. closed_day, exception_closed, weekend_requests_not_allowed, outside_booking_range, service_not_offered_at_location, calendar_full (calendar mode only).

Errors. invalid_input, unknown_service, unknown_location, location_required, invalid_range, rate_limited.

6.6 get_reviews

Purpose. Aggregate rating and a bounded set of recent public review excerpts.

Input. { "limit": 5, "location": "daytona" }. limit is 1 to 10, default 5. location is accepted only for multi-location businesses.

Output.

{
  "aggregateRating": 4.8,
  "reviewCount": 312,

  "reviews": [
    { "author": "Maria", "rating": 5, "text": "Fast, fair, and cleaned up after." }
  ],
  "canonicalSiteUrl": "https://example.com"
}
  • For multi-location businesses without location, scope.type is all_locations and the aggregate MUST be computed across every location's own listing, weighted by review count. A server MUST NOT report one location's rating as the whole business.
  • When no aggregate is available the server MUST omit aggregateRating and include note. It MUST NOT return a placeholder rating.
  • author SHOULD be a first name or initial only.
  • The total serialized reviews array SHOULD be capped, 8 KiB is RECOMMENDED.

Errors. invalid_input, location_not_supported (single-location business given a location), unknown_location, ambiguous_location (with locations candidates), rate_limited.

6.7 request_service_booking

Purpose. Submit a customer-approved request that the business schedule a service. Creates a pending request. Never creates an appointment.

Input.

requestIdREQUIRED. UUID. Idempotency key. A retry with the same id MUST NOT create a second request.
confirmedREQUIRED. Literal true. The agent asserts the customer approved this submission after seeing its contents.
serviceSlugREQUIRED. MUST match a bookable service.
preferredDateREQUIRED. Calendar date. MUST be a real date, at least minimumDaysAhead from today in the business time zone, not a weekend when weekendRequests forbids it, and not a date the hours mark closed.
preferredTimeOPTIONAL. A window id from the manifest, chosen by the matching rule in section 5.7.1: by clock time when the window carries start and end, by fixed id otherwise, never by label.
locationREQUIRED when the business has more than one location. A location id.
customer.nameREQUIRED. 2 to 120 characters.
customer.phoneREQUIRED unless contactMethod is email. At least 10 digits.
customer.emailREQUIRED when contactMethod is email.
customer.address, city, state, zipREQUIRED when bookingPolicy.requiresAddress is true, which is the default for on_site and both. zip MUST match ^\d{5}$ when present.
customer.notesOPTIONAL. Up to 2000 characters. Plain text. Servers MUST sanitize.
customer.contactMethodREQUIRED. One of call, text, email, and MUST be in bookingPolicy.contactMethods.
customer.contactAuthorizedREQUIRED. Literal true. The customer authorized contact about this request by the chosen method.
customer.vehicleOPTIONAL { year, make, model, mileage }. Accepted when serviceModel is in_shop, or both with vehicleDetailsAccepted true. Otherwise the server MUST ignore it and MUST NOT return an error because it was sent.
agentOPTIONAL. channel is one of mcp, rest, webmcp, other. name and version are OPTIONAL strings up to 80 characters. The server records a channel and the requestId whether or not this object is sent; see section 7.3.

Output, success.

  • appointmentConfirmed MUST be present and MUST be false. It exists so no agent can infer confirmation from silence.
  • status MUST be pending_business_confirmation.
  • duplicate: true means the same requestId, or the same customer, service, and date within a short window, was already received. No second request was created. The message MUST say so.
  • schedulingRecordCreated reports whether a record was written to the business's scheduling system for staff review. It is not confirmation.
  • coverageVerified reports whether the customer ZIP matched published coverage. false does not block the request.

Idempotency. The server MUST key stored requests on requestId. A retry after rate_limited or a network failure with the same body MUST return the original result with duplicate: true or the identical success payload.

7.1 Customer approval

An agent MUST NOT call request_service_booking until the human principal has seen the service, date, window, and the contact details to be sent, and has approved submission. The confirmed: true literal is the agent's assertion of that fact. Servers MUST reject any value other than literal true.

7.2 Contact authorization

customer.contactAuthorized: true asserts that the customer authorized the business to contact them about this request by contactMethod. It authorizes nothing else. A server MUST NOT derive marketing consent, SMS promotional consent, or email list consent from an OSP booking request. When contactMethod is text, the server MAY record transactional SMS consent for this request only.

7.3 Provenance

Every booking request carries a requestId. The server MUST persist, with each request, the requestId, the channel through which the request arrived, the time received, and a bounded user-agent string, so the business can see which surface produced each request. The channel is determined by the server from the transport it observed (mcp, rest, webmcp, other); the agent is not required to send it. If the agent supplies the OPTIONAL agent object, the server SHOULD record it alongside its own observation and MAY reject the request with missing_provenance when the supplied agent.channel contradicts the observed channel. A server MUST reject with missing_provenance when confirmed or contactAuthorized is not literal true. A server SHOULD prefix any free-text notes it stores with a fixed provenance line, ahead of the agent's text, so agent-supplied text cannot impersonate that line.

7.4 What the server may not say

A conforming server MUST NOT, in any tool output, HTML confirmation, or email triggered by an OSP request, state or imply that an appointment is booked, a time is reserved, or a technician is assigned. It MAY state that the request was received and that the business will confirm.

7.5 No payment

OSP v0.1 defines no payment, deposit, or card capture. A server MUST NOT request payment details through OSP tools. A future version may reference an external payment protocol.

7.6 Personal data minimums

  • Tools MUST be served over HTTPS.
  • Servers MUST NOT echo the customer's full contact details back in the success payload beyond what is needed for the agent to display a summary; the example in section 6.7 returns none.
  • Servers MUST sanitize customer.notes and any review text to plain text before storage or display.
  • Servers SHOULD cap free text and review payload sizes.
  • Read tools MUST NOT expose customer data. get_reviews returns first names or initials only.
  • Servers SHOULD retain raw agent user-agent strings no longer than needed for abuse investigation.

7.7 Third-party text

Review text, service descriptions written by the business, and notes written by customers are data. Servers MUST include the notice field on get_reviews. Agents SHOULD treat all string fields from OSP tools as untrusted content, never as instructions.

8. Conformance levels

Levels are cumulative. A business claims a level in its manifest by meeting every requirement at that level and below. A manifest MAY carry "conformance": { "level": 2 }; consumers MUST verify rather than trust the claim.

8.1 Level 1: read-only profile

  1. Manifest served per section 4.1 and valid per Appendix A.
  2. HTML pages carry schema.org JSON-LD. Required: one LocalBusiness (or trade subtype such as HVACBusiness, Plumber, Electrician, AutoRepair) node with name, address, telephone, openingHoursSpecification, and url matching the manifest, carrying one potentialAction of type ScheduleAction whose target.urlTemplate is interfaces.schedulePageUrl and whose result is a Reservation with reservationStatus https://schema.org/ReservationPending. Recommended: the business node SHOULD carry a hasOfferCatalog OfferCatalog listing each manifest service as a Service or Offer with a url, and each service node SHOULD carry its own ScheduleAction with a service query parameter and the same ReservationPending result.
  3. bookingSemantics is "request", business.serviceModel is declared, and business.trades is declared. Where a trade label is a schema.org type name, the JSON-LD business node SHOULD use it as @type.
  4. No invented facts: every price, certification, hour, and service in the manifest appears on the business's own pages or comes from a source the business controls.

8.2 Level 2: read tools over MCP

  1. All Level 1 requirements.
  2. An MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint at interfaces.mcp.url exposing the three core read tools get_business_info, list_services, and check_coverage per section 6. get_reviews SHOULD be exposed; when it is, it MUST follow section 6.6.
  3. An MCP server card at interfaces.mcp.serverCardUrl listing the exposed tools SHOULD be published (section 4.3).
  4. Anonymous access, rate-limited, fail-closed.
  5. Tool outputs agree with the manifest: same service slugs, same location ids, same policy values.

8.3 Level 3: booking

  1. All Level 2 requirements.
  2. request_service_booking per section 6.7, with idempotency on requestId and server-side provenance recording per section 7.3.
  3. check_availability per section 6.5, at least in policy mode.
  4. Every confirmation surface triggered by a request (tool output, page, email, SMS) obeys section 7.4.

9. Versioning and change policy

  • OSP uses semantic versioning. specVersion in the manifest is MAJOR.MINOR.
  • A PATCH release corrects text only. It does not change schemas.
  • A MINOR release MAY add optional fields, tool output fields, enumeration values, and error codes. Consumers MUST ignore unknown fields.
  • Before 1.0, a MINOR release MAY contain breaking changes and MUST list each one in the changelog with a migration note.
  • After 1.0, breaking changes ship only in a MAJOR release.
  • A deprecated construct keeps working for the prior MINOR for at least six months after the release that deprecates it.
  • bookingSemantics values beyond request are a breaking change and follow the rules above.
  • Each release publishes a changelog in this document and a tagged release in the repository.
  • Proposals, issues, and discussion happen in the GitHub issue tracker at the repository URL. The maintainer decides; decisions are recorded in the changelog with their issue links.
  • This document's canonical URL is versioned. /standards/open-service-profile/latest redirects to the newest release.

Deferred to a later version

The following are out of scope for v0.1 and are recorded so implementers do not extend the schema locally to cover them:

  • International addresses and postal-code coverage outside the United States.
  • Multiple brands or businesses sharing one origin. A v0.1 manifest describes exactly one business.
  • Payment, deposits, and card capture.
  • Calendar-connected availability as a requirement. check_availability in calendar mode is OPTIONAL in v0.1.
  • Named capabilities in place of cumulative conformance levels, to align with UCP.
  • A2A transport declarations.
  • A normative source of ZIP code centroids for radius coverage evaluation. In v0.1 the source is implementation-defined and radius matches are advisory.

Changelog

versiondatechange
0.1.0-draft.32026-09-07Corrections from an outside review checked against sources: prior-art table rewritten (schema.org Service properties and ReservationPending acknowledged, Reserve with Google asynchronous confirmation, UCP lodging and food, Local Service MCP added, MCP server card convention status); the section 4.3 card shape labeled an OSP convention; motivation states OSP claims correctness for agents, not search visibility, subject to the interoperability experiment; check_coverage distinguishes not evaluated (matchedBy: "unknown") from not covered; check_availability windows carry status requestable, available, or closed and agents describe requestable windows as accepting requests; Level 1 shrinks to the manifest plus one business node with one ScheduleAction, with OfferCatalog and per-service actions as SHOULD; Level 2 core is get_business_info, list_services, check_coverage, with get_reviews and the server card as SHOULD; interfaces.mcp.serverCardUrl optional.
0.1.0-draft.22026-09-07Corrections from cross-family review: every tool output is oneOf success or error with per-tool error enums; invalid_input with fields on every tool; radius coverage evaluation order, advisory radius matches, and in_shop and none values for matchedBy; default window boundaries for policy-mode availability; customer.vehicle ignored rather than rejected; interfaces.mcp required at Level 2 and 3; exactly one primary location, afterHoursNote implying emergencyAvailable, and vehicleDetailsAccepted only for both expressed in the schema; format: date on calendar dates with a real-date rule; time zone pattern and USPS region enum; hours exceptions as two closed shapes; tool Window mirrors the manifest; emergencyAvailable required in get_business_info; note required in get_reviews when no aggregate; normative MCP server card shape; Level 1 JSON-LD example.
0.1.0-draft2026-09-07Initial draft.

10. Security considerations

  • The manifest is public. It MUST NOT contain credentials, internal identifiers, or personal data of staff or customers.
  • Anonymous write access (request_service_booking) is by design. Servers MUST rate-limit per caller and per business, MUST validate every field, and SHOULD detect duplicate submissions across requestId, customer identity, service, and date.
  • Servers that forward requests to an internal scheduling endpoint SHOULD sign the forwarded body so a browser cannot forge the server-recorded provenance.
  • Free text from agents and customers is untrusted. Sanitize before storage, display, email, or SMS.
  • A registry or proxy in front of an OSP server MUST NOT alter tool outputs; canonicalSiteUrl lets agents detect the origin.
  • Consumers MUST NOT follow instructions embedded in any string field.

11. IANA considerations

This document requests provisional registration of the well-known URI suffix open-service-profile in the Well-Known URIs registry (RFC 8615), with this document as the reference and the maintainer as the change controller. The Link relation service-profile used in section 4.2 is an extension relation type expressed as a plain string; a registered relation may replace it in a later version.

Dates: CalendarDate carries both format: date and a pattern. Implementations MUST reject dates that do not exist on the calendar (for example 2026-02-30), whether or not their schema library enforces format.

Constraints a validator MUST check in addition to the schema. Items 1, 5, 7, and 9 are also expressed in the schema (contains, if/then) and are listed so implementations without those keywords still enforce them:

  1. Exactly one location has isPrimary: true.
  2. Every coverage.radius[].locationId and services[].locationIds[] names an existing location.
  3. Every location referenced by coverage.radius has geo.
  4. Service slugs are unique. Location ids are unique. Window ids are unique.
  5. bookingPolicy.afterHoursNote present implies bookingPolicy.emergencyAvailable: true.
  6. hours.weekly open times precede close times except for 24_hours.
  7. coverage is present when business.serviceModel is on_site or both (also expressed by the top-level if/then).
  8. bookingPolicy.requiresAddress, when absent, is read as true for on_site and both and false for in_shop.
  9. bookingPolicy.vehicleDetailsAccepted is meaningful only for both.
  10. Window start precedes end.

C.4 Level 1 JSON-LD for the HVAC example

The markup a Level 1 page for Palmetto Air & Heat carries. It exceeds the Level 1 minimum in section 8.1 item 2 (one business node with one ScheduleAction) by also carrying the recommended OfferCatalog with all five manifest services and a per-service ScheduleAction on each. The one service the manifest marks bookable: false (system replacement) still carries a ScheduleAction, as item 2 requires on every service node, but its target is the contact page rather than the schedule page, matching the manifest's instruction to request a quote visit.

Appendix D. Divergences from the reference implementation

The reference implementation runs on the maintainer's client websites. As of 2026-09-07 it implements Level 1 (manifest and schema.org markup), Level 2 (the three core read tools plus get_reviews over MCP; check_availability is absent, see D2), and the booking half of Level 3. It diverges from this draft as follows. Items marked implemented are recorded so the history of the draft stays legible; the rest are build tasks, not specification changes.

#areathis draftreference implementation today
D1Manifest/.well-known/open-service-profile JSON documentImplemented 2026-09-07. Served for verified custom domains from the same rows as get_business_info and llms.txt, declaring conformance.level 2; unverified hosts and the platform brands answer 404, as does a business whose required facts are not on record.
D2check_availabilityDefined, required at Level 3 in policy mode, windows carry status requestable, available, or closedNot implemented. Policy inputs (minimumDaysAhead, weekend rule, hours) exist and are returned by get_business_info.booking.
D3schema.org actionOne ScheduleAction with result Reservation ReservationPending on the business node (required); per-service actions and the OfferCatalog recommendedImplemented 2026-09-07. Service, business, and branch nodes emit ScheduleAction targeting /schedule (with ?service= and ?location= where the page can preselect them) with reservationStatus ReservationPending. The code can emit ReservationConfirmed for a tenant whose scheduling engine confirms instantly; a site doing so is outside OSP v0.1, because bookingSemantics is fixed to request, and no reference-implementation tenant does so today.
D4agent provenance object in booking inputOPTIONAL input field with channel, optional name and version; server records its own observed channel regardlessChannel is derived server-side from the executing route and the Sec-Fetch-Site header (mcp, agent-tools, webmcp, agent) and the user agent header is recorded, which satisfies the server-side MUST. The optional caller-supplied object is not accepted yet and the internal channel names differ from the draft enumeration (agent-tools maps to rest, agent to other).
D5weekendRequests enumallowed, not_allowed, saturday_onlyBoolean allowWeekendBooking. saturday_only is new.
D6maximumDaysAheadManifest field, default 60The hero scheduler shows minimumDaysAhead + 14 days; no server-side maximum is enforced on agent requests.
D7Location idA slug unique within the manifestImplemented as the bare shop slug, the same value the /schedule page reads as ?location=. The multi-shop tools accept that slug, the full route identity {city-st}/{location-slug}, or the bare city, and reject ambiguous matches; get_business_info still labels each shop with the full route identity. Two shops sharing one slug would be left out of the manifest rather than given an id nothing resolves.
D8list_services.location filter and services[].locationIdsDefinedNot implemented; every enabled service is offered at every shop.
D9services[].bookable and pricePresentationDefinedNot present. All enabled services are bookable; no price text is emitted by the tools.
D10Hours formatWeekly table with open/close, closed, 24_hours, plus dated exceptionsPer-day values are { open, close }, closed, { closed: true }, 24_hours, or emergency. No exceptions list. emergency maps to closed plus bookingPolicy.emergencyAvailable: true.
D11check_coverage evaluation order, matchedBy, and messageDefined, with postalCodes, location, radius, in_shop, none, unknownOutput has covered, areaName, areaUrl or phone. No matchedBy. Radius coverage is not evaluated; because no tenant publishes radius coverage, the unknown branch is never reached and a miss is a true none. Coverage is exact ZIP lists from service-area rows and shop rows. in_shop tenants always publish ZIP lists, so the no-coverage branch is never reached.
D12Booking success payloadstatus, schedulingRecordCreated, location, confirmationNoteReturns success, requestId, duplicate, service, preferredDate, preferredTime, coverageVerified, providerBookingCreated, appointmentConfirmed: false, message. providerBookingCreated maps to schedulingRecordCreated.
D13Error codesAdds invalid_input with fields on every tool, plus date_too_far, closed_day, unknown_window, contact_method_unavailable, address_required, missing_provenance, invalid_rangeImplements unknown_service, invalid_date, date_too_soon, weekend_unavailable, location_required, unknown_location, ambiguous_location, rate_limited, booking_request_failed, booking_transport_unavailable, location_not_supported. Schema-invalid input currently surfaces as an MCP tool error rather than an invalid_input result.
D14customer.vehicleStructured objectThe downstream scheduling schema accepts vehicleMake, vehicleModel, vehicleYear, vehicleMileage; the agent booking input does not expose them.
D15Level 2 anonymityAnonymous, rate-limitedMatches. Tools are served only on verified custom domains; staging hosts return 404.
D16serviceModel and tradesserviceModel enum declared per manifest; trades are schema.org subtype names or plain labelsImplemented in the manifest. serviceModel comes from the market key: service, hvac, and landscape markets are on_site; automotive and its marine variant are in_shop. trades come from the market (HVACBusiness, AutoRepair, boat repair, landscaping) plus the enabled service categories (Plumber, Electrician, refrigeration); a service market business with no mapped category is labeled home services until its categories say more. both is never emitted.
D17Link headerrel="service-profile"Implemented 2026-09-07 on verified custom domains, alongside the describedby link to llms.txt.
D18business.reviewProfilesOptional list of review profile URLsImplemented from the stored Google Business Profile URL, or the Google Maps place URL derived from the stored place id when no URL is stored. No other platform URLs are stored, so none are published.
D19WindowsFixed ids with optional start and end; custom windows with required start, end, label; windowDefinitions in tool outputsOnly the three fixed ids are supported, with no start or end, and get_business_info.booking.timePreferences returns bare id strings rather than window objects.

Everything not listed matches: the four read tools and the booking tool by name (check_availability is absent, see D2), the Morning, Afternoon, Evening window ids, literal true for confirmed and contactAuthorized, the UUID requestId idempotency key, the ZIP-is-informational rule, the multi-location aggregate rule for reviews, review sanitization and the notice field, the 8 KiB review cap, appointmentConfirmed: false, no marketing consent from the agent channel, and the provenance line prefixed to stored notes.
