Alternatives and comparisons
If you’re evaluating ECP (Execution Control Protocol), these short comparisons are designed to help you quickly place it in the modern agent stack. ECP is a runtime specification for execution environments: what an agent can access (tools, data mounts), what is allowed (policies), and how execution is orchestrated and audited. It’s meant to integrate with frameworks you already use, not replace them.Comparisons
