Automatic construction of general interfaces would be tricky to say the least. It would surely have to depend on why agentA needs to interface with agentB in the first place - for general data transfer (location , status, random data) it would be fine, but unless both agents had the understanding of each others internal models/goals/thought processes it seems unlikely that they would benefit from a transfer except at an aggregate level
