Integrated the official Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol using @a2a-js/sdk v1.3.0 across client tools and server endpoints:

  1. Client Capabilities:

    • Added a2aQueryTool (lib/agents/tools/a2a.tsx) using @a2a-js/sdk/client (ClientFactory) allowing agents to query and delegate sub-tasks to remote agents.
    • Defined Zod schema in lib/schema/a2a.ts and registered a2aQueryTool in lib/agents/tools/index.tsx.
    • Updated decision flow instructions in lib/agents/researcher.tsx.
  2. Server Capabilities:

    • Implemented app/.well-known/agent-card.json/route.ts serving QCX-Terra's A2A Agent Card.
    • Implemented app/api/a2a/route.ts using @a2a-js/sdk/server (DefaultRequestHandler, JsonRpcTransportHandler, InMemoryTaskStore) handling standard JSON-RPC requests and streaming responses.
  3. Documentation & Testing:

    • Created A2A_CONFIGURATION.md detailing A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS environment variable setup, client tool usage, and server endpoint specifications.
    • Added comprehensive unit tests in tests-unit/a2a.test.ts covering schema validation, agent card discovery, JSON-RPC handling, and client tool error fallbacks.

Walkthrough

QCX-Terra adds a remote-agent query tool and A2A discovery and JSON-RPC endpoints. The tool selects a remote agent and handles streamed or single-message responses. Documentation and unit tests cover the A2A support. Several component effects and lint directives also change.

Remote-agent tool and routing

Adds the tool input schema and remote-agent selection, invocation, streaming, and fallback handling. Registers the tool and adds A2A request routing to the researcher. Documents remote-agent configuration and usage. Tests cover schema parsing and an unconfigured target.
A2A discovery and request endpoints
app/.well-known/agent-card.json/route.ts, app/api/a2a/route.ts, A2A_CONFIGURATION.md, tests-unit/a2a.test.ts, tests-unit/mock-setup.ts
Adds the agent-card route and JSON-RPC endpoint, including task execution, streamed responses, error handling, and CORS responses. Documents the endpoints. Tests cover discovery, message handling, and invalid methods.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0f849

The new remote-agent features can send server requests to arbitrary addresses. They can route data and API keys to the wrong agent, run a remote task twice after a stream fails, and accept calls from anyone. In addition, the map is now rebuilt on every pan or zoom, which can lose drawing controls and in-progress drawings. Fix these issues before merging.

I’m a rabbit, hopping through the code,
I found remote agents along the road.
Messages stream and cards appear,
Tests check each endpoint here.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @A2A_CONFIGURATION.md:
- Around line 48-56: Update both client send calls to use the A2A text-part
shape with `content` containing `$case: 'text'` and the message value. Remove
the `HTTP+JSON/REST` protocol advertisement from the discovery card and update
the Agent Card Discovery description to list only the supported `JSON-RPC`
interface.

Review comments at @app/.well-known/agent-card.json/route.ts:
- Around line 4-6: Update the base URL construction in the route handler to use
the configured `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL` value in production instead of
client-controlled `host` and `x-forwarded-proto` headers. Retain header-based
URL construction only in development.

Review comments at @app/api/a2a/route.ts:
- Line 134: Replace the client-facing `error?.message` fallback with a fixed,
generic error message, and keep the original error details in the server log.
Locate the error response handling around the `message` field.
- Around line 102-109: Add error and cancellation handling to the ReadableStream
around the rpcResult generator: catch iteration errors and pass them to
controller.error, and add a cancel handler that calls rpcResult.return?.() to
stop the generator when the client disconnects.
- Around line 12-27: Replace the duplicated `agentCard` definition in the
`/api/a2a` route with the shared card definition used by the well-known route,
including its skills and absolute URL. Ensure the shared card’s advertised
protocol binding matches the protocol this route actually serves; do not
advertise `HTTP+JSON/REST` here unless the route supports it.
- Around line 90-98: Add a bearer-token authentication check to the POST handler
before parsing the request or invoking jsonRpcHandler.handle, and reject
unauthorized requests; also enforce a request-body size limit before parsing. Do
not change the endpoint’s CORS policy without a defined access policy.

Review comments at @lib/agents/tools/a2a.tsx:
- Around line 37-44: Validate the parsed value in the `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS`
configuration block before assigning it to `configuredAgents: require an array,
then retain only entries with string `name` and `url` properties so later
lookups cannot throw on malformed input.
- Around line 61-64: Update the fallback condition near the targetAgent lookup
so the first configured agent is selected only when no targetAgent was provided.
If a supplied targetAgent is unknown, do not route the request to another agent
or use that agent’s apiKey.
- Around line 122-141: Restrict the `sendMessage` fallback in the stream error
handler to cases where streaming cannot be started, rather than any error during
stream processing. Use the streaming capability from `client.getAgentCard()` to
decide whether to fall back, or skip fallback when `accumulatedResponse` already
contains streamed content; preserve partial responses without sending the task
twice.
- Line 163: Update the errorText handling in the remote A2A invocation to return
a generic error without exposing agentUrl or the raw error message to the model
or UI, while keeping those details in the server log.
- Around line 49-50: Validate `targetAgent` before assigning it to `agentUrl`:
allow direct URLs only when their host matches an explicitly configured agent in
`A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS`, and otherwise accept only configured agent names. Reject
unmatched URLs before they can reach the outbound request.
- Around line 112-113: Update the streamed task status handling in the
chunk-processing flow to read the state value from
chunk.statusUpdate.status.state instead of converting the status object itself
to a string.

98-102: The A2A section is numbered 6, but the SkyFi and geospatial branches use #### **3.**.

The tool guideline numbering is consistent. The decision flow now lists A2A first. Mandatory-style rules in the prompt, such as "Geospatial Priority … MUST", can conflict with the new first rule only for requests that name a remote agent. This is acceptable. No change is needed.

The test does not demonstrate a dependency on mock-setup.ts. The routes only use NextResponse.json, and no source establishes that the real next/server implementation fails for these calls under Bun. Adding the mock would alter the test environment, but the inspected code does not require it.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep camera updates out of the map initialization lifecycle.

captureMapCenter writes a new mapData.cameraState on every moveend. This dependency therefore runs cleanup after a pan or zoom, removes the map, and creates a new instance. Cleanup does not save active drawRef features, and the map-mode effect does not rerun for this change. Drawing controls and in-progress drawings can be lost. Changes to position also trigger this teardown. Keep map creation independent of these changing values, and apply later camera or position updates without destroying the map instance.
