Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A

Preview package for A2A endpoints for Agents SDK

This package is preview. The namespace organization is intentionally breaking, and compatibility wrappers for the previous namespace layout are not provided.

Normal agent authoring and application startup require only the root namespace:

using Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A;

For setup, Agent Card generation, skills, protocol mapping, and OAuth configuration patterns, see the A2A developer guide.

API organization

Area Namespace Use
Root authoring and startup Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A Agent extension, route attributes and builders, turn-context interfaces, the same-turn A2AClient, message helpers, transport protocol, and endpoint registration.
Pipeline Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Pipeline Internal implementation for concrete adapters, activities, turn contexts, and HTTP/JSON-RPC processors.
Authorization Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Authorization Request-token consumption, OBO configuration, and Agent Card OAuth metadata binding.
Agent Card Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.AgentCard The public IAgentCardHandler final-card customization contract; configuration binding is internal.
Integration Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Integration Required Agent SDK registration and serialization-initialization infrastructure. A2AServiceRegistrar is public only for Agent SDK discovery.
Storage Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Storage A2A task-store implementations.

Add a responsibility-specific namespace import only when code directly uses an API from that public area. For example, use Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.AgentCard, Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Authorization, Microsoft.Agents.Extensions.A2A.Storage for the corresponding APIs.
