Hi Anusha,
I can add this topic to the Application Framework Expert Group call tomorrow if you are available to attend.

No, not really. simple-egl belongs to upstream (community). That should be
the way to do it.

simple-egl does not set the app id only the title. Modifying it to set
the app_id just like the title is trivial. Could try upstreaming that,
but I do know how to argue about that change. Using app_id is specific
to AGL, but on other hand maybe updating all apps to use it might be
something desirable. Guess it is worth a shoot to see.

This is a bit vague. Specifying which application is streamed to that
output is done by either using config file (in the remote-output section
you use agl-shell-app-id=app_id_of_application) or by
using agl-shell-desktop protocol. You also need a receiver application
that receives the incoming buffers and that connects to the local
compositor.
Using the same machine for this might no be that trivial, one compositor
instance does the streaming and you need another instance of the
compositor (one the same machine) with the receiver connecting to the
last one. You can specify the which wayland compositor to connect to
by using WAYLAND_DISPLAY environmental variable. Probably using
DRM backend might worth while by using ssh. Might be able to use other
backends but you need the DRM backend for dmabuf import/export so unsure
how that might work out.

As in current implementation existing policy code is also included in 'agl-compositor' binary. Is this ok according to the design and implementation perspective?
There's no plan to have compositor plug-ins at the moment. The policy
engine will likely be as is, as that defines the interface so that each
policy implements its own specialized versions. Even so, the ability to
dynamically load policies isn't that far-fetched so I guess that is
worth adding on next meetings to see what others think about it. A
concern here would be about security.
A small note, if you need to extend the policy engine itself (so not the
policy) that will probably need to happen directly in the compositor.
