The Linux Foundation has announced its hosting of the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, developed initially by Google and supported by over 100 technology companies. A2A serves as an open standard for secure communication between AI agents, addressing the challenge of enabling software entities to discover, exchange information, and collaborate across different platforms. Essential components include the AgentCard, a JSON metadata document for agent identification, and enterprise-grade security features like JWTs and TLS to safeguard data integrity and authenticity.
The A2A protocol is designed to solve one of AI's most pressing challenges: enabling autonomous agents to discover each other, securely exchange information, and collaborate across disparate platforms.
An AgentCard is a JSON metadata document that describes its purpose and provides instructions on how to access it via a web URL, facilitating integration and interoperability.
