What is a key benefit of the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol?

Question

Options

• AProvides a standardized framework for cross-vendor agent discovery and communication
• BAllows auto-onboard third-party agents without additional contracts, trust scores, or shared
• CProvides a standardized runtime engine for internal agent discovery and communication

• A
  86% (43)
• B
  10% (5)
• C
  4% (2)

Explanation

The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol is an open industry standard that enables agents from different vendors to discover each other and communicate in a structured, interoperable way. Its key value is cross-vendor compatibility-agents built on different platforms can collaborate without custom integrations. Option B is incorrect because A2A does not eliminate the need for contracts, trust scores, or shared context agreements; governance and trust policies still apply. Option C is incorrect because A2A is explicitly cross-vendor (external), not a runtime engine for internal agent communication within a single platform.
