Implement A2A messages and parts — TextPart, FilePart, DataPart, message roles, metadata, and content negotiation. Use when building message construction, parsing, or content type handling in A2A agents.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# A2A Messages and Parts

## Before writing code

**Fetch live docs**:
1. Fetch `https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/specification/` for the Message and Part schemas
2. Web-search `site:github.com a2aproject A2A message parts TextPart FilePart DataPart` for schema details
3. Web-search `site:github.com a2aproject a2a-samples message` for message construction examples
4. Fetch SDK docs for message builder classes and part types

## Conceptual Architecture

### What Messages Are

Messages are the **communication units** between agents in A2A. Each message belongs to a task and contains one or more Parts that carry the actual content. Messages have roles indicating direction.

### Message Structure

- **role** — `user` (from client agent) or `agent` (from server agent)
- **parts** — Array of Part objects (the actual content)
- **metadata** — Optional key-value pairs for custom data

### Three Part Types

#### TextPart
Plain text or markdown content.
- **kind**: `"text"`
- **text**: The text content string
- **metadata**: Optional key-value pairs

Use for: Natural language instructions, responses, explanations, formatted output.

#### FilePart
File content, either inline or by reference.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add orcaqubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins/a2a-messages-parts@sha256:ac63fec2b8121eac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260309.786511c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
