A2A Connector 0.1.0-BETA

Anypoint Connector for Agent2Agent (A2A) (A2A Connector) facilitates inter-agent communication for Large Language Model (LLM) agents and other applications by implementing the A2A protocol. This enables agents to interact and delegate specialized tasks to other agents.

The A2A protocol is an open standard that supports:

Capability discovery

Identifies the functions and services offered by agents.
Interaction negotiation

Establishes communication methods between agents.
Secure information exchange

Transmits data between agent systems without requiring direct internal access.

A2A Connector provides Mule app integration that functions as both A2A servers and A2A clients.

Anypoint Connector for Agent2Agent (A2A) is a beta connector that is subject to the Beta Services Terms at Agreements - Salesforce.com or a written Unified Pilot Agreement if executed by Customer, and the Non-GA Gen AI and Non-GA Credit Consumption terms in the Product Terms Directory. Use of this beta connector with external systems or services consumes Mule messages and is at the Customer’s sole discretion.

This A2A Connector beta release doesn’t support these A2A capabilities:

Streaming
Notifications
Task history

For information about compatibility and fixed issues, see the A2A Connector Release Notes.
