SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Exposes agents as discoverable A2A JSON-RPC servers and provides tooling to connect to remote A2A agents, enabling scalable inter-agent collaboration across distributed environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Expose an agent as an A2A server: Use the A2A builder to start an HTTP server and publish an Agent Card at the well-known endpoint and a JSON-RPC endpoint for task execution.
  • Connect to remote agents: Allow a lead agent to register and communicate with remote specialists using client APIs and capability matching.
  • Agent Card generation & discovery: Create agent cards with name, description, and skills so they are discoverable across networks and enable capability-based routing.

Quick Start

Invoke the builder to expose an agent as an A2A server, and optionally connect to remote A2A agents with the client APIs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expose a local agent as an A2A JSON-RPC server for inter-agent collaboration?

To expose a local agent as an A2A JSON-RPC server, use the A2A builder with the withA2A() function to start an HTTP server and publish an Agent Card for discoverability. This enables other agents to discover and collaborate with your agent across distributed environments.

How can a lead agent discover and connect to remote specialist agents across URLs?

A lead agent can discover and connect to remote specialists across URLs using client discovery and capability matching APIs. By invoking the withRemoteAgent() function, the lead agent registers remote agents and communicates with them based on their published Agent Cards.

What is an Agent Card and how does it enable agent discovery across networks?

An Agent Card is a metadata payload containing an agent's name, description, and skills published at a well-known endpoint. It enables capability-based routing and inter-agent discovery across networks, allowing client APIs to match available specialists to specific tasks.

Can I use this to build scalable inter-agent communication across distributed environments without external dependencies?

Yes, you can build scalable inter-agent communication across distributed environments without external dependencies. The skill provides native A2A server building and client connection APIs to establish HTTP servers and execute JSON-RPC tasks independently.

What is the best way to route tasks to specialized agents using A2A networking?

The best way to route tasks to specialized agents is by generating Agent Cards with specific skills for capability-based routing. Lead agents then use client discovery APIs to match task requirements against remote specialists' published capabilities.

When should I not use A2A agent networking for my reactive agents?

You should not use A2A agent networking if your reactive agents operate within a single closed runtime where direct function calls are possible. This skill is designed for distributed environments requiring HTTP-based JSON-RPC servers and remote agent discovery across URLs.
