Overview
What is a2a-runtime
a2a-runtime is an agent container that supports the a2a protocol, allowing users to implement their own agents under a specific namespace. Multiple agents can be exposed at a designated endpoint using the a2a protocol.
How to Use
Users can implement their agents (e.g., agent1 and agent2) under the same namespace (e.g., default) and access them via specific RPC URLs. For example, agent1 can be accessed at http://a2a-runtime:port/default/agent1 and agent2 at http://a2a-runtime:port/default/agent2.
Key Features
Key features include the RuntimeAgentExecutor for forwarding requests to specific a2a agents, the RuntimeA2AFastAPIApplication for mounting different agents under the same endpoint, and the RuntimeRequestHandler for allowing new messages to specify task IDs.
Where to Use
a2a-runtime can be used in various fields that require agent-based architectures, such as artificial intelligence, automated systems, and microservices where multiple agents need to communicate under a unified protocol.
Use Cases
Use cases include building complex systems with multiple agents that need to interact seamlessly, developing AI applications where different models function as agents, and creating microservices that require efficient communication between various components.
