Report #79305

[frontier] How do I make my LangGraph agent collaborate with a CrewAI agent in another company's VPC without tight coupling?

Implement the Google A2A protocol: expose an Agent Card for discovery, and use the Task/Artifact message exchange for asynchronous work delegation with streaming updates.

Journey Context:
MCP solved tool-calling standardization, but not agent-to-agent collaboration across organizational boundaries. A2A \(launched April 2025\) introduces a JSON-based protocol where agents discover capabilities via 'Agent Cards' \(hosted at /.well-known/agent.json\) and manage long-running work through Task objects with push notifications. This replaces brittle 'webhook chains' with a structured saga pattern for cross-vendor agent workflows, enabling 'agent federation' where a Salesforce agent can securely delegate to a SAP agent without prior integration meetings.
