Agent-to-Agent Communication

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) enables agents to collaborate, delegate tasks, and communicate with each other—even across organizational boundaries.

For full documentation, see Agent-to-Agent (Full Guide).

Quick Overview​

Why A2A?​

Complex problems often require specialized skills:

  • Specialization: Let each agent focus on what it does best
  • Delegation: Manager agents coordinate specialist agents
  • Federation: Agents from different organizations collaborate
  • Scalability: Distribute work across many agents

How A2A Works​

Deeployd implements the A2A Protocol - an open standard for agent interoperability.

Agent A ──task/send──▶ Agent B ──executes──▶ Returns result

Basic Example​

const task = await client.a2a.sendTask({
  targetAgent: 'agent-456',
  message: {
    role: 'user',
    parts: [
      { type: 'text', text: 'Analyze this sales data and identify trends' }
    ]
  }
});

console.log(task.id);     // task-789
console.log(task.status); // 'working'

Enable A2A on Agent​

await client.agents.update('agent-123', {
  a2a: {
    enabled: true,
    public: true,
    skills: [
      {
        id: 'data-analysis',
        name: 'Data Analysis',
        description: 'Analyze datasets and extract insights'
      }
    ]
  }
});
