# A2A Platform Plugin — Design
Consolidates the entire A2A (Agent-to-Agent) feature cluster (#514 and friends)
into one **plugin** with **zero core edits**, built on capabilities the current
codebase already exposes. Implements **A2A Protocol v1.0** (JSON-RPC binding).
## Why a plugin, not a core feature
Earlier A2A attempts (#4135, #4948, #4952, #11025) added a standalone server
package (`a2a_adapter/`) and/or patched `gateway/run.py` + `gateway/config.py`.
Since then the codebase grew `ctx.register_platform()` (the plugin
platform-adapter API — used by irc, line, teams, ntfy, simplex, …) and
`ctx.register_tool()`. That makes the standing policy achievable: **plugins
must not touch core files.** A2A now lives entirely under
`plugins/platforms/a2a/`.
## Two directions
### Outbound — client tools (`a2a` toolset)
- `a2a_discover(url)` — fetch + summarize a peer's Agent Card (v1.0
`supportedInterfaces` aware, tolerates 0.3 cards).
- `a2a_call(agent, message, context_id?)` — send a JSON-RPC `message/send`
task to a peer, return the reply. Multi-turn via `context_id` (carried
inside the Message per v1.0). Surfaces `TASK_STATE_INPUT_REQUIRED` so the
model knows to answer and continue the context.
- `a2a_list()` — configured peers + persisted conversations + metrics.
- `a2a_history(context_id, limit?)` — recall a persisted conversation
(this is the production consumer of the persistence layer).
- `a2a_orchestrate(capability, message, mode?)` — fan-out one task to every
configured peer advertising a capability. Modes: `all` (every reply),
`first` (first success), `best` (longest successful reply — a deliberately
coarse heuristic; errors never win, and an all-error fan-out reports the
failures instead of picking one).
Peers resolved from `config.yaml` → `a2a_agents`, or a direct URL.
### Inbound — platform adapter
- Stdlib `http.server` on a daemon thread (no asyncio loop needed at
`register()` time — sidesteps the a2a_fleet "register outside a loop" bug
class that killed inbound serving in forks). The request handler is a
module-level class (`A2ARequestHandler`) reached through
`server.adapter`, so RPC handlers are unit-testable without HTTP.
- Agent Card at `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json` (canonical v1.0 path; legacy `agent.json` also answers) (v1.0: `supportedInterfaces[]`,
`provider`, `capabilities.extendedAgentCard`). **Dynamic**: skills are
built from the live tool registry at serve time
(`A2A_ADVERTISED_TOOLSETS` / `extra.advertised_toolsets` restricts them).
- JSON-RPC methods: `message/send`, `message/stream` (SSE), `tasks/get`,
`tasks/list`, `tasks/cancel`, `tasks/subscribe`,
`tasks/pushNotificationConfig/create` (legacy `set` names accepted).
- **Live-session injection (the #11025 insight):** inbound tasks route through
the normal `MessageEvent` → `handle_message` path keyed by the A2A
`contextId`, so the agent that answers is the same one serving the user —
full memory/context, not a clone. The reply returns through `adapter.send()`,
which fulfils the pending per-**task** `Future` the HTTP request is blocked
on (per-context FIFO, so concurrent same-context requests can't cross-talk);
`on_processing_complete` resolves failures/cancellations promptly.
- **Task store:** every task (including terminal ones, bounded to the last
500) stays queryable via `tasks/get` / `tasks/list`, and `tasks/subscribe`
reattaches to a running task's stream via store watchers. A watchdog fails
orphaned tasks after 5 minutes (idempotent transitions — no double
counting in metrics).
- **input-required:** the platform hint tells the agent to start a reply with
`[INPUT_REQUIRED]` when it needs clarification; the adapter maps that to
`TASK_STATE_INPUT_REQUIRED` with the question in `status.message`.
- **Push notifications:** config accepted inline in `message/send`
(`configuration.taskPushNotificationConfig`) or via the create method
(returns `configId` + `createdAt`). On terminal transition the callback
receives a v1.0 `StreamResponse` (`statusUpdate`) payload, HMAC-SHA256
signed (`X-A2A-Signature`, secret `A2A_PUSH_SECRET` falling back to the
bearer token), with SSRF-guarded callback URLs.
## v1.0 wire format notes
- Task states / roles are SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE (TASK_STATE_*, ROLE_*).
- Parts are member-presence discriminated — no kind field. All three
Part types are supported: text (text + mediaType), file
(url|raw + filename + mediaType), and data (data + mediaType).
extract_text renders file/data Parts into the text stream (URL +
filename for files, JSON for data) so the agent sees them; it also
accepts v0.3 (kind) and pre-0.3 (type) shapes from older peers.
Outbound replies are still text-only — the agent produces text, and
file/data Parts are for inbound richness.
- Push notification config: full CRUD — create (inline in message/send
via configuration.taskPushNotificationConfig, or via the create
method), get, list, delete. Each config has a configId and createdAt.
One config per task (v1.0 allows multiple; we keep one).
- SSE events are StreamResponse objects (statusUpdate / artifactUpdate
members); stream closure signals the terminal state — no final field.
- contextId lives inside the Message (legacy top-level accepted inbound).
- Timestamps are ISO 8601 with millisecond precision; Tasks carry
createdAt / lastModified.
- Error codes: A2A-reserved codes are used only with their spec semantics
(`-32001` TaskNotFound, `-32002` TaskNotCancelable); custom errors sit at
`-32050..-32052` (unauthorized / rate-limited / untrusted).
## Security (on by default)
- **Bind safety:** no token configured (`A2A_BEARER_TOKEN` or
`A2A_PEER_TOKENS`) ⇒ bind `127.0.0.1` only. A token alone does not widen
the bind; remote exposure requires token **and** explicit `A2A_HOST`.
- **Peer identity:** `A2A_PEER_TOKENS="alice:tok1,bob:tok2"` gives each peer
its own credential; the matched name is the authenticated identity used
for rate limiting, the trust gate, message framing, and audit. A shared
`A2A_BEARER_TOKEN` authenticates as `ip:<addr>`. Nothing in the request
body can assert identity. Comparisons are constant-time.
- **Trust gate:** `A2A_TRUSTED_PEERS` (or config `a2a.trusted_peers`)
optionally restricts which authenticated identities may run tasks.
- **Injection filters:** ALL inbound text (including `/`-prefixed — remote
peers can never reach operator slash commands) is defanged (ChatML /
role-prefix / override patterns → `[filtered]`) and framed with a privacy
prefix marking it untrusted peer input.
- **Outbound redaction:** credential-shaped strings (`sk-…`, `ghp_…`, JWTs,
bearer tokens, emails) scrubbed before anything leaves.
- **Rate limiting:** sliding window per authenticated identity
(`A2A_RATE_LIMIT`/min).
- **Anti-loop:** per-context turn cap (`A2A_MAX_PINGPONG_TURNS`, default 5,
hard max 20) rejects (v1.0 `TASK_STATE_REJECTED`) runaway agent↔agent
ping-pong; `tasks/cancel` resets the counter for the task's context.
- **Audit log:** append-only `~/.hermes/a2a_audit.jsonl` for every exchange.
## State placement
Task store, turn tracker, and rate limiter are **adapter-instance** objects
(classes in `protocol.py`). The metrics counter bag stays a module singleton
because it is intentionally shared between the inbound adapter and the
outbound client tools (`/metrics` and `a2a_list` report both directions).
## Persistence (survives compaction)
A2A conversations are written to `~/.hermes/a2a_conversations/<context>.jsonl`,
outside the context-compaction pipeline — compaction and restarts can't lose
them (#11025 requirement). The `a2a_history` tool recalls them by context id.
## Requirements traced to the cluster
| Source | Requirement | Where |
|---|---|---|
| #514, #23871, #4135 | Agent Card discovery | `protocol.build_agent_card`, adapter GET |
| #4135, #14559, #8948 | Client: discover / call / list | `tools.py` |
| #11025 | Live-session injection (not a clone) | `adapter._prepare_task` |
| #11025 | Privacy filters + outbound redaction + audit | `security.py` |
| #11025 | Conversation persistence outside compaction | `protocol.persist_message`, `a2a_history` |
| #514, #11025 | Auth, localhost-default | `security.authenticate`, `resolve_bind_host` |
| #56434 | Trusted peer approval | `security.is_trusted_peer` |
| #56435 | Task completion notifications | push notifications (`_send_push_notification`) |
| #25176, #689 | Agent↔agent messaging across machines | client tools + inbound adapter |
| #7517 et al. | Multi-peer orchestration | `a2a_orchestrate` |
## Deliberately out of scope (future, not this pass)
- **a2a-sdk / gRPC + HTTP+JSON bindings.** Only the JSONRPC binding is
served; the card advertises exactly that.
- **`tenant` field, extended Agent Card, `stateTransitionHistory`.**
- **True task abort:** `tasks/cancel` marks the task canceled and drops the
reply, but cannot abort the live session's in-flight turn.
- **DID / Ed25519 identity, OAuth2 scopes, x402 micropayments** (#14559
bindu) — heavy, niche; revisit if there's real demand.

# A2A — Agent-to-Agent protocol for Hermes
Talk to other agents, and let other agents talk to you, over the open
[A2A protocol](https://a2a-protocol.org) **v1.0**. Works with any A2A-compliant
peer (another Hermes, LangChain, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenClaw, …). Stdlib only —
no `a2a-sdk` dependency.
## Enable
```bash
hermes gateway setup # pick A2A, or:
```
```yaml
# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
gateway:
platforms:
a2a:
enabled: true
extra:
port: 9900
# peers you want to call (outbound):
a2a_agents:
researcher:
url: "http://localhost:9999"
auth: { type: bearer, token: "sk-..." }
timeout: 120
capabilities: [web_search, research]
```
## Outbound — call other agents
The agent gets five tools:
- `a2a_discover(url)` — what can this agent do?
- `a2a_call(agent, message, context_id?)` — send it a task, get the reply.
- `a2a_list()` — configured peers, saved conversations, metrics.
- `a2a_history(context_id)` — recall a saved A2A conversation.
- `a2a_orchestrate(capability, message, mode?)` — fan-out a task to every
peer advertising a capability (`all` / `first` / `best`).
## Inbound — be callable
When the `a2a` platform is enabled, Hermes serves a v1.0 Agent Card at
`http://<host>:<port>/.well-known/agent-card.json` (the legacy
`/.well-known/agent.json` path is also answered for pre-1.0 clients) and
accepts JSON-RPC
`message/send`, `message/stream` (SSE), `tasks/get|list|cancel|subscribe`,
and push notification configs (inline or via
`tasks/pushNotificationConfig/create`). Incoming tasks are injected into your
**live** agent session — the same agent that's talking to you, with full
memory — and the reply is returned over A2A. Completed tasks stay queryable
via `tasks/get`.
## Security
- **No token ⇒ localhost only.** The server binds `127.0.0.1` and refuses to
widen unless you configure a token *and* set `A2A_HOST`.
- **Per-peer tokens**: `A2A_PEER_TOKENS="alice:tok1,bob:tok2"` gives each
remote agent its own credential; that authenticated name (never anything
in the request body) drives rate limiting, trust, and audit.
- Inbound text — including `/`-prefixed text — is run through
prompt-injection filters and framed as untrusted peer input; remote peers
cannot invoke operator slash commands.
- Outbound text is scrubbed of credential-shaped strings.
- Push callbacks are SSRF-guarded and HMAC-SHA256 signed (`X-A2A-Signature`).
- Every exchange is logged to `~/.hermes/a2a_audit.jsonl`.
- Conversations persist to `~/.hermes/a2a_conversations/` — they survive context
compaction and restarts (`a2a_history` recalls them).

A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol v1.0 support for Hermes Agent — both directions
of the open Linux Foundation standard for inter-agent communication.
OUTBOUND (client tools): a2a_discover, a2a_call, a2a_list, a2a_history, and
a2a_orchestrate let the agent fetch another agent's Agent Card and send it
tasks over JSON-RPC — works with any A2A-compliant peer (Hermes, LangChain,
CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenClaw, ...).
INBOUND (platform adapter): exposes Hermes as an A2A-discoverable agent. An
Agent Card is served at /.well-known/agent-card.json (v1.0 canonical path;
legacy agent.json also answers) and incoming tasks are routed
into the agent's live gateway session like any other platform — so the agent
that replies is the same one talking to its user, with full memory and
context, not a throwaway clone.
Security is on by default: no bearer token configured => localhost-only bind.
Inbound task text passes through prompt-injection filters; outbound text is
scrubbed of credential-shaped strings; every exchange is audit-logged and
persisted to disk outside the context-compaction pipeline so conversations
survive compaction and restarts.
Pure stdlib transport (http.server + urllib) — no a2a-sdk dependency required.

"""
A2A security primitives — shared by the inbound adapter and the client tools.
Threat model: A2A is a *network* surface. Inbound messages come from other
agents (possibly adversarial), and outbound messages may carry our agent's
private context to a peer we don't fully trust. Both directions are hardened
here so neither the adapter nor the tools have to re-implement it.
Layers (all opt-out-able only by explicit config, never silently):
1. Bind safety — no token configured => 127.0.0.1 only
2. Peer identity — per-peer bearer tokens (A2A_PEER_TOKENS) map a
presented token to an authenticated identity; a
shared A2A_BEARER_TOKEN falls back to ip:<addr>.
Rate limiting and the trust gate key on this identity,
never on anything the request body asserts.
3. Injection filters — strip ChatML / role-prefix / override patterns from
inbound task text before it reaches the agent
4. Outbound redaction — scrub credential-shaped strings from anything we send
5. Audit log — append-only JSONL of every inbound + outbound exchange
6. Trusted peers — optional allow-list restricting which authenticated
identities may run tasks
7. Push auth — HMAC-SHA256 webhook signing + SSRF-safe callback URLs
