Design AI agent communication protocols: MCP tool schemas, A2A, function calling, and inter- agent messaging. Use when building multi-agent systems, defining tool interfaces, or implementing agent-to-agent communication.

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

# Agent Protocol

The agent designs tool schemas for MCP, Google A2A, and OpenAI Function Calling protocols. It implements transport selection, capability discovery, authentication flows (OAuth 2.1, API keys), structured error handling, rate limiting, and protocol bridges for heterogeneous agent ecosystems.

## Core Capabilities

- **Protocol selection & comparison** — MCP (tool/resource/prompt serving), Google A2A (agent cards, task lifecycle, streaming), OpenAI Function Calling (JSON Schema, parallel calls, strict mode), LangChain/LangGraph tools, and custom WebSocket/gRPC messaging
- **Tool schema design** — JSON Schema input/output validation, semantic naming conventions, description engineering for LLM comprehension, required vs optional parameters, enum and default strategies
- **Transport & discovery** — stdio/SSE/WebSocket for MCP, HTTP+JSON-RPC for A2A, agent card capability advertisement, health checking, and protocol version negotiation
- **Security & authentication** — OAuth 2.1 flows, API key rotation and scoping, request signing, per-identity rate limiting, and audit logging for inter-agent calls

## When to Use

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/agent-protocol@sha256:484e9f56dce4f9bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
