To our knowledge no specific 'die-cut file format' exists and instead die-cutting machines support vector graphics formats, including .ai, .svg, .eps, .dxf, as well page layout files, but occasionally might also accept raster files.
Software provided by various cutting machine vendors might use their own project files and send the exports directly to connected machines.
Most professional vector or page-layout design software (for example Illustrator/InDesign) actually support options to include DIE-CUT FORME parameters for specific color swatches.
You can also find software aimed for die-cutting design, for example Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, and Brother CanvasWorkspace.
