A2A Protocol Review
Open standard protocol enabling interoperability between AI agents from different vendors and frameworks.
Verdict
A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Protocol is Google-initiated open standard that defines how AI agents discover, communicate, and collaborate across different platforms and vendors — addressing the fragmentation problem in multi-agent AI systems. It complements Anthropic's MCP (which connects agents to tools/data) by focusing on agent-to-agent coordination. Adoption depends on ecosystem buy-in, but Google's backing and its open governance model give it strong credibility in the agentic AI space.
