Report #55342

[frontier] Agents built on different frameworks cannot interoperate in multi-agent systems

Implement Google's Agent2Agent \(A2A\) protocol for cross-framework communication using AgentCards for capability discovery and Task objects for stateful delegation

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent systems require homogenous stacks \(all LangGraph or all OpenAI Agents\), creating vendor lock-in. A2A provides an open HTTP-based standard where agents expose AgentCards \(JSON metadata describing skills, authentication, and streaming support\) at well-known URLs. Agents communicate via Task objects that maintain state across asynchronous operations, supporting both request-response and streaming SSE updates. This enables 'federation'—a LangGraph agent can delegate to an OpenAI Agent via A2A without either knowing the other's implementation details.
