Report #45740

[frontier] How do I enable autonomous agent collaboration across different frameworks without tight coupling?

Implement the Google A2A protocol \(Agent-to-Agent\): expose an \`AgentCard\` at \`/.well-known/agent.json\` describing capabilities and authentication; use the \`tasks/send\` endpoint to send messages with \`Part\` types \(text, file, data\); handle \`INPUT\_REQUIRED\` status for human-in-the-loop; this enables Cursor agents to delegate to LangChain agents seamlessly.

Journey Context:
MCP is for tools \(client-server\), A2A is for agents \(peer-to-peer\). Most multi-agent systems use hardcoded supervisor patterns or framework-specific APIs \(CrewAI, AutoGen\), creating vendor lock-in. A2A provides the HTTP/JSON lingua franca. Alternatives like custom gRPC require code generation and break autonomy. This matters because it enables a marketplace of agents where a 'research agent' can hire a 'coding agent' without prior integration.

environment: HTTP servers implementing the A2A spec, typically exposed via FastAPI/Express, with AgentCard discovery. · tags: a2a google agent-to-agent multi-agent collaboration protocol · source: swarm · provenance: https://github.com/google/A2A
