Secure Agent-to-Agent Communication Bridge

About

apcore-a2a is a standardized protocol and bridge for secure, direct communication between autonomous AI agents. It provides a robust discovery mechanism for agents to find each other, negotiate capabilities via standardized schemas, and execute tasks with verified identity. Built to enable the next generation of collaborative AI systems, it handles automated schema translation and secure transport, ensuring that agents can work together as a seamless team across different platforms and providers.

Features

Agent Discovery: Universal mechanism for finding available agents and their capabilities
Capability Negotiation: Automatic matching of task requirements with agent skills
Secure Transport: Encrypted, direct communication channels between agents
Identity Verification: Cryptographic proof of agent identity and authorization
Automated Schema Translation: Bridge data models between different agent implementations
Direct Execution: Verified task delegation and result gathering
A2A Protocol: Open specification for cross-provider agent collaboration

Get Started

Python Implementation

Python reference implementation of the Agent-to-Agent communication protocol.

Install
pip install apcore-a2a
Quick Start
from apcore_a2a import Agent, Discovery

# Initialize agent with capabilities
agent = Agent(name="Researcher", capabilities=["web_search", "summarization"])

# Discover other agents on the network
discovery = Discovery()
available_agents = await discovery.find_agents(required_skills=["coding"])

# Negotiate and execute a collaborative task
if available_agents:
    peer = available_agents[0]
    result = await agent.collaborate(peer, task="Write a summary")
