[frontier] How to connect agents built with different frameworks without custom glue code

Adopt the Agent-to-Agent \(A2A\) protocol for inter-agent communication, using Agent Cards for capability discovery and task-based message exchange instead of bespoke REST APIs or message queues.

Journey Context:
Building multi-agent systems typically requires custom orchestration logic when mixing LangChain, AutoGen, or custom Python agents, creating tight coupling. A2A provides a standard MIME-type based message format and discovery mechanism using JSON Schema Agent Cards. Alternatives include MCP \(but it's for tools, not peer agents\) or custom gRPC. This is correct because it allows heterogeneous agents to collaborate without shared codebases, focusing on capability negotiation rather than implementation coupling, which is essential for enterprise agent marketplaces.
