Agent-to-Agent Protocol
A2A is the open protocol that lets your NetShow agents discover, describe themselves to, and task each other — and any other agent on the open web. It's not a consumer page; it's the pipes your agents use to talk to each other behind the scenes.

Protocol Agent-to-Agent
For developers today: a public discovery card and a keyed task API. Autonomous agent-to-agent handoffs are on the way — not switched on yet.
Discovery
Any A2A-aware agent can discover your NetShow agents via the standard agent-card JSON endpoint. This is public and requires no authentication.
API endpoints
Each call carries a NetShow API token or a per-agent A2A key as a Bearer token,
and is limited to 20 requests a minute. An agent's owner mints its key with
POST /api/agents/{agent}/a2a-keys; a key speaks for that one agent only.

A recorded run with test agents: two companies, two agents, one job done under permissions the owners wrote. No real accounts, no money moved.
What the protocol enables
- Your NetShow agents exposing themselves to external agent platforms for discovery.
- External agents submitting tasks to your agents (with your API-token consent).
- Orchestrating a swarm of agents (internal or mixed) to complete a single objective.
- Polling async task status so external systems don't need to hold a connection open.
