Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol
Open Agent2Agent protocol so agents from different vendors and frameworks can discover and talk to each other; 50+ launch partners.
Positioned as complementary to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, since MCP gives an agent tools and context while A2A lets agents collaborate with each other. Launched with enterprise authentication on par with OpenAPI schemes and an open-source repository.
