How it is judged
No published rubric. Infer lenses from the judge profile and the prizes.
Criteria not published in the results post. The organizer's praise repeatedly cites the blog, the project video and the GitHub repository together, and 'practical and impactful' outcomes.
Known results
Frugalia
Agentic FinOps platform that detects, analyzes and resolves infrastructure waste in Kubernetes clusters.
Kubernetes-native MCP governance
Monitors agentgateway and kagent resources, scores MCP security posture and adds AI risk analysis.
Multi-cluster AI inventory controller
Kubernetes-native controller that inventories AI infrastructure across clusters, inspired by agentregistry.
Vision agent with ASL mode
A kagent-based agent that captures webcam photos and transforms them into AI-augmented media, with an American Sign Language mode.
kagent-dotnet
Brings Microsoft Agent Framework agents into the kagent ecosystem via A2A.
Kubernetes-native clinical MCP federation
Clinical AI agent platform that federates several MCP servers behind one endpoint to query MIMIC-IV securely.
MCP.STORE
A full e-commerce store used to demonstrate protocol-level MCP authentication and authorization that agents cannot bypass.
