A2A Agent Network
A beginner-friendly network for agent discovery, delegation, and structured task handoffs.
System flow
How the pieces move.
- Request Submit a structured task.
- Discover Read specialist Agent Cards.
- Delegate Pass work through the agent chain.
- Return Collect the result and trace.
Problem Statement
Multiple agents cannot collaborate reliably if they have no shared way to advertise capabilities, accept work, report task state, or explain partial failure.
Architecture Summary
A coordinator reads Agent Cards, delegates structured tasks to research, fact-check, and writer services, then returns a final or partial result with a trace of completed work.
Key Design Tradeoffs
- Uses local knowledge so the protocol shape stays visible without API keys or live web access.
- Models independent HTTP services instead of hiding four roles inside one prompt.
- Stays A2A-inspired and educational rather than claiming full protocol compliance.
Technologies
A2A Agent Network is four small services with actual job descriptions.
The coordinator discovers a research agent, a fact-check agent, and a writer through Agent Cards. Tasks move through clear states, keep their IDs, and return partial work when a later stage fails.
It is a practical introduction to the moment multi-agent systems stop being a prompt trick and start becoming distributed systems, just with more opinions about JSON.
