Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is an open standard designed to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration between AI agents developed by different organizations using various frameworks. A2A provides a standardized method for agents to discover each other's capabilities, negotiate interaction modalities, and securely collaborate on tasks without exposing internal states or proprietary tools. Built on existing technologies like HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0, and Server-Sent Events (SSE), A2A supports both synchronous and asynchronous interactions, enabling agents to handle complex, long-running tasks efficiently. The protocol emphasizes security, interoperability, and scalability, making it suitable for enterprise-grade applications.
Facilitating communication between AI agents across different platforms and frameworks.
Enabling secure and efficient collaboration on complex, multi-agent tasks.
Standardizing agent discovery and capability sharing through Agent Cards.
Supporting long-running and asynchronous tasks with real-time updates.
The A2A protocol enables high autonomy through decentralized agent negotiation, dynamic task delegation, and secure information exchange without centralized control. Its agent discovery system (via JSON-based agent cards) and support for asynchronous operations allow agents to independently select collaborators based on capabilities. However, enterprise implementations might impose organizational guardrails that partially constrain pure autonomy.
