Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol gateway reference. JSON-RPC 2.0 peer-to-peer agent communication. (/a2a-gateway, a2a, agent protocol).

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 Gateway Reference

OpenCrabs exposes an A2A Protocol HTTP gateway for peer-to-peer agent communication.

## What it does

Other A2A-compatible agents send tasks via JSON-RPC 2.0. OpenCrabs processes them using its full tool suite and returns results.

## Endpoints

- `GET /.well-known/agent.json` — Agent Card discovery (skills, capabilities)
- `POST /a2a/v1` — JSON-RPC 2.0 (`message/send`, `tasks/get`, `tasks/cancel`)
- `GET /a2a/health` — Health check

## Setup

Enable in `~/.opencrabs/config.toml`:

```toml
[a2a]
enabled = true
bind = "127.0.0.1"
port = 18790
```

## Bee Colony Debate

Multi-agent structured debate with knowledge-enriched context from QMD memory search. Configurable rounds, confidence-weighted consensus based on ReConcile (ACL 2024).

## Tool: a2a_send

| Param | Required | What |
|-------|----------|------|
| `action` | Yes | `discover`, `send`, `get`, `cancel` |
| `url` | Yes | Base URL of remote agent (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:18790) |
| `message` | For `send` | Text to send |
| `task_id` | For `get`/`cancel` | Task ID to check/cancel |
| `context_id` | Optional | Continue a conversation |
| `api_key` | Optional | Bearer token for authenticated endpoints |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adolfousier/opencrabs/a2a-gateway@sha256:ba5aa84db99f0f68

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260503.68c0c2a, 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.
