What is the A2A Protocol
The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol is an open standard that enables secure, framework-agnostic communication between autonomous AI agents. Instead of building bespoke integrations whenever you want agents to collaborate, A2A gives Corti-Agentic and other systems a common language agents can use to discover, talk to, and delegate work to one another. For the full technical specification, see the official A2A project docs at a2a-protocol.org. Originally developed by Google and now stewarded under the Linux Foundation, A2A solves a core problem in multi-agent systems: interoperability across ecosystems, languages, and vendors. It lets you connect agents built in Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, .NET, or other languages and have them cooperate on complex workflows without exposing internal agent state or proprietary logic.Why Corti-Agentic Uses A2A
We chose A2A because it:- Standardizes agent communication. Agents can talk to each other without siloed, point-to-point integrations. That makes composite workflows easier to build and maintain.
- Supports real workflows. A2A includes discovery, task negotiation, and streaming updates, so agents can coordinate long-running or multi-step jobs.
- Preserves security and opacity. Agents exchange structured messages without sharing internal memory or tools. That protects intellectual property and keeps interactions predictable.
- Leverages open tooling. There are open source SDKs in multiple languages and example implementations you can reuse.
