Evidence-backed facts
- A2A 1.0 is an open standard for communication and interoperability between independent Agent systems built with different frameworks, languages, or vendors. informative
- An A2A server exposes an Agent Card describing identity, capabilities, skills, supported protocols, and interaction requirements; the standardized public discovery path is /.well-known/agent-card.json. normative
- A client using A2A 1.0 sends the A2A-Version header with each request using the Major.Minor protocol version so the server can apply the requested semantics. normative
- A2A separates its canonical data model and abstract operations from protocol bindings such as HTTP+JSON, JSON-RPC, and gRPC so shared semantics can remain interoperable across transports. informative
