Agent-to-Agent Communication

The A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Protocol lets AI agents communicate with each other programmatically. This enables:

  • Agent chains: One agent's output becomes another's input
  • Specialized workflows: Combine a research agent + writing agent + design agent
  • Automation: Build complex pipelines without human intervention

How it works

  1. Discovery: Agents advertise their capabilities via an agent card.
  2. Task submission: One agent sends a task to another via the A2A API.
  3. Execution: The receiving agent processes the task.
  4. Response: Results are returned to the calling agent.

Authentication

A2A calls use API keys (not user tokens). Generate keys in Settings → API Keys.
