The term 'agent' is possibly 'overstating' for what you propose. I
was doing research on what was called "autonomous mobile agents'

definition of agent, typically, they had certain
characteristics. One main one was that they exhibited some level of
AI type behavior (especially relevant for autonomous agents).

Much of the work I did was based on Sowa's Conceptual Graphs, KQML
(Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language) and KIF (Knowledge
Interchange Format). [...]
Most of the code was written in Tcl/Tk, prolog and C. [...]

Just for the record: It was possible to do KQML in Lisp. A short
google query turned up http://www.cs.umbc.edu/kqml/software/, which
mentions some APIs in Lisp. I can't remember which we used, but it was
running on CMUCL (17 something, IIRC).
