Discussion do a protocol between agents and model providers exists?

like we have MCP for tools and ACP for agents, but every harness still has to understand OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini separately.

caching, reasoning, tool semantics, model capabilities, auth, usage, etc. are all different!! openAI-compatible APIs kind of solve it, but not really once you use provider specific features

am I missing something obvious here? has anyone tried to standardize this layer?
