Overview
A2A (Agent2Agent) is an open protocol from Google enabling AI agents to communicate securely and collaborate. It breaks down silos between isolated agent systems, allowing for complex cross-application automation.
Key Features:
- ๐ฏ Simple: Uses HTTP, JSON-RPC, SSE
- ๐ข Enterprise Ready: Focuses on security and privacy
- โก Async First: Handles long-running tasks
- ๐ Modality Agnostic: Supports text, files, forms, streams
- ๐ Opaque Execution: Agents interact without sharing internal logic
