+# Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol Configuration & Usage Guide
+
+This repository integrates the official **Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol** ([a2a-protocol.org](https://a2a-protocol.org)) using [`@a2a-js/sdk`](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-js). QCX-Terra can act both as an **A2A Client** (invoking specialized remote agents on other systems) and as an **A2A Server** (allowing external agentic systems to discover and send tasks to QCX-Terra).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Environment Configuration
+
+### Remote Agents (`A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS`)
+
+Configure remote A2A agents that QCX-Terra can communicate with using the `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS` environment variable in `.env.local` or your runtime environment:
+
+```env
+A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS='[
+  {
+    "name": "weather-agent",
+    "url": "https://weather.example.com",
+    "apiKey": "sk_live_12345"
+  },
+  {
+    "name": "satellite-imagery-agent",
+    "url": "https://sat.example.com"
+  }
+]'
+```
+
+- **`name`**: Friendly identifier for the remote agent (used by internal agents for routing).
+- **`url`**: The base HTTP/HTTPS URL of the remote agent serving `/.well-known/agent-card.json`.
+- **`apiKey`** *(optional)*: Bearer token or authorization token injected into the `Authorization` request header.
+
+---
+
+## 2. A2A Client Capabilities
+
+QCX-Terra's multi-agent system (`lib/agents/researcher.tsx`) includes the `a2aQueryTool` tool.
+
+When a user asks QCX-Terra to consult or delegate sub-tasks to external agents (e.g., *"Ask the weather agent for the atmospheric forecast in Oregon"* or *"Delegate satellite task to https://sat.example.com"*), the agent automatically uses `a2aQueryTool` to:
+
+1. Resolve the remote agent's URL and credentials from `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS` or prompt argument.
+2. Fetch the remote agent card via `@a2a-js/sdk` `ClientFactory`.
+3. Negotiate transport (JSON-RPC or HTTP REST).
+4. Stream or send the request message and return the synthesized result to the user interface.
+
+---
+
+## 3. A2A Server Endpoints
+
+QCX-Terra exposes compliant A2A v1.0 server endpoints:
+
+### Agent Card Discovery
+- **Endpoint**: `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json`
+- **Description**: Returns QCX-Terra's agent card, detailing supported interfaces (`JSON-RPC`, `HTTP+REST`), streaming capabilities, and available skills (`geospatial-analysis`, `satellite-embeddings`, `planet-computer`).
+
+### Message & Task Execution Endpoint
+- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/a2a`
+- **Description**: Handles inbound A2A v1.0 JSON-RPC requests (`SendMessage`, `SendStreamingMessage`, `GetTask`, `CancelTask`, etc.).
+
+#### Example Inbound JSON-RPC Request:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/a2a \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "id": 1,
+    "method": "SendMessage",
+    "params": {
+      "message": {
+        "messageId": "msg-001",
+        "role": "ROLE_USER",
+        "parts": [
+          {
+            "content": {
+              "$case": "text",
+              "value": "Query latest geospatial analysis for target region."
+            }
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Testing & Verification
+
+Run the A2A integration test suite using Bun:
+
+```bash
+bun test tests-unit/a2a.test.ts
+```

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] feat: install and integrate Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol
 and resolve lint warnings

Install @a2a-js/sdk v1.3.0 and implement client and server capabilities
for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol communication. Also resolve ESLint React hook
and img element warnings across component files.

- Added a2aQueryTool in lib/agents/tools/a2a.tsx for client communication
- Added A2A agent card route at app/.well-known/agent-card.json
- Added A2A JSON-RPC message endpoint at app/api/a2a
- Added A2A_CONFIGURATION.md documentation
- Added unit and integration tests in tests-unit/a2a.test.ts
- Fixed ESLint React Hook dependencies and image element warnings

-- **`url`**: The base HTTP/HTTPS URL of the remote agent serving `/.well-known/agent-card.json`.
-- **`apiKey`** *(optional)*: Bearer token or authorization token injected into the `Authorization` request header.
+- `name`: Agent identifier used for routing.
+- `url`: Base HTTP(S) URL for the remote agent's A2A agent card.
+- `apiKey` (optional): Bearer token sent to that configured agent.
+
+Only named agents in this configuration are callable. Direct URLs are accepted only when their origin matches a configured agent; unmatched URLs are rejected to prevent server-side request forgery. If no target is supplied, the first valid configured agent is selected. An unknown explicit target never falls back to a different agent.
 
----
+Set `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL` to QCX-Terra's canonical public origin (for example, `https://qcx.example.com`) in production. The discovery endpoint uses this configured origin rather than untrusted request headers.
 
-## 2. A2A Client Capabilities
+### Protecting the inbound endpoint
 
-QCX-Terra's multi-agent system (`lib/agents/researcher.tsx`) includes the `a2aQueryTool` tool.
+The `/api/a2a` endpoint is **public by default**. Its A2A responder returns a fixed informational response and does not run the user-facing agent or access user data. Deployments that need caller authentication should set `A2A_SERVER_API_KEY`; when set, every POST must include `Authorization: Bearer <same-secret>`. Keep this value secret and configure it for authorized callers. Requests larger than 1 MiB are rejected.
 
-When a user asks QCX-Terra to consult or delegate sub-tasks to external agents (e.g., *"Ask the weather agent for the atmospheric forecast in Oregon"* or *"Delegate satellite task to https://sat.example.com"*), the agent automatically uses `a2aQueryTool` to:
+```env
+A2A_SERVER_API_KEY=replace-with-a-long-random-secret
+```
 
-1. Resolve the remote agent's URL and credentials from `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS` or prompt argument.
-2. Fetch the remote agent card via `@a2a-js/sdk` `ClientFactory`.
-3. Negotiate transport (JSON-RPC or HTTP REST).
-4. Stream or send the request message and return the synthesized result to the user interface.
+## 2. A2A Client
 
----
+QCX-Terra's multi-agent system exposes `a2aQueryTool` for delegation and questions to configured remote agents. It resolves names (or same-origin URLs) from `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS`, discovers the agent card, and uses streaming when the remote agent advertises streaming support; otherwise it sends a single A2A message. It does not retry a streaming request as a second task if streaming fails.
 
 ## 3. A2A Server Endpoints
 
-QCX-Terra exposes compliant A2A v1.0 server endpoints:
+### Agent card discovery
+
+- **Endpoint:** `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json`
+- **Description:** Returns the QCX-Terra agent card, advertising the supported `JSON-RPC` interface, streaming capability, and available skills (`geospatial-analysis`, `satellite-embeddings`, `planet-computer`).
+
+### Message and task endpoint
 
-### Agent Card Discovery
-- **Endpoint**: `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json`
-- **Description**: Returns QCX-Terra's agent card, detailing supported interfaces (`JSON-RPC`, `HTTP+REST`), streaming capabilities, and available skills (`geospatial-analysis`, `satellite-embeddings`, `planet-computer`).
+- **Endpoint:** `POST /api/a2a`
+- **Description:** Handles inbound A2A JSON-RPC requests through the SDK's JSON-RPC transport handler. REST transport is not advertised or implemented.
 
-### Message & Task Execution Endpoint
-- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/a2a`
-- **Description**: Handles inbound A2A v1.0 JSON-RPC requests (`SendMessage`, `SendStreamingMessage`, `GetTask`, `CancelTask`, etc.).
+Example request:
 
-#### Example Inbound JSON-RPC Request:

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] feat: enable real-time token streaming for A2A client
 tool

Update a2aQueryTool in lib/agents/tools/a2a.tsx to update the streamable UI
progressively as text tokens and artifact chunks arrive from remote A2A agents.

 # Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol Configuration & Usage Guide
 
-This repository integrates the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol using [`@a2a-js/sdk`](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-js). QCX-Terra can act as an A2A client for configured remote agents and expose an A2A JSON-RPC server endpoint.
+This repository integrates the official **Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol** ([a2a-protocol.org](https://a2a-protocol.org)) using [`@a2a-js/sdk`](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-js). QCX-Terra can act both as an **A2A Client** (invoking specialized remote agents on other systems) and as an **A2A Server** (allowing external agentic systems to discover and send tasks to QCX-Terra).

-- `name`: Agent identifier used for routing.
-- `url`: Base HTTP(S) URL for the remote agent's A2A agent card.
-- `apiKey` (optional): Bearer token sent to that configured agent.
-
-Only named agents in this configuration are callable. Direct URLs are accepted only when their origin matches a configured agent; unmatched URLs are rejected to prevent server-side request forgery. If no target is supplied, the first valid configured agent is selected. An unknown explicit target never falls back to a different agent.
+- **`name`**: Friendly identifier for the remote agent (used by internal agents for routing).
+- **`url`**: The base HTTP/HTTPS URL of the remote agent serving `/.well-known/agent-card.json`.
+- **`apiKey`** *(optional)*: Bearer token or authorization token injected into the `Authorization` request header.
 
-Set `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL` to QCX-Terra's canonical public origin (for example, `https://qcx.example.com`) in production. The discovery endpoint uses this configured origin rather than untrusted request headers.
+---
 
-### Protecting the inbound endpoint
+## 2. A2A Client Capabilities
 
-The `/api/a2a` endpoint is **public by default**. Its A2A responder returns a fixed informational response and does not run the user-facing agent or access user data. Deployments that need caller authentication should set `A2A_SERVER_API_KEY`; when set, every POST must include `Authorization: Bearer <same-secret>`. Keep this value secret and configure it for authorized callers. Requests larger than 1 MiB are rejected.
+QCX-Terra's multi-agent system (`lib/agents/researcher.tsx`) includes the `a2aQueryTool` tool.
 
-```env
-A2A_SERVER_API_KEY=replace-with-a-long-random-secret
-```
+When a user asks QCX-Terra to consult or delegate sub-tasks to external agents (e.g., *"Ask the weather agent for the atmospheric forecast in Oregon"* or *"Delegate satellite task to https://sat.example.com"*), the agent automatically uses `a2aQueryTool` to:
 
-## 2. A2A Client
+1. Resolve the remote agent's URL and credentials from `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS` or prompt argument.
+2. Fetch the remote agent card via `@a2a-js/sdk` `ClientFactory`.
+3. Negotiate transport (JSON-RPC or HTTP REST).
+4. Stream or send the request message and return the synthesized result to the user interface.
 
-QCX-Terra's multi-agent system exposes `a2aQueryTool` for delegation and questions to configured remote agents. It resolves names (or same-origin URLs) from `A2A_REMOTE_AGENTS`, discovers the agent card, and uses streaming when the remote agent advertises streaming support; otherwise it sends a single A2A message. It does not retry a streaming request as a second task if streaming fails.
+---
 
 ## 3. A2A Server Endpoints
 
-### Agent card discovery
-
-- **Endpoint:** `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json`
-- **Description:** Returns the QCX-Terra agent card, advertising the supported `JSON-RPC` interface, streaming capability, and available skills (`geospatial-analysis`, `satellite-embeddings`, `planet-computer`).
-
-### Message and task endpoint
+QCX-Terra exposes compliant A2A v1.0 server endpoints:
 
-- **Endpoint:** `POST /api/a2a`
-- **Description:** Handles inbound A2A JSON-RPC requests through the SDK's JSON-RPC transport handler. REST transport is not advertised or implemented.
+### Agent Card Discovery
+- **Endpoint**: `GET /.well-known/agent-card.json`
+- **Description**: Returns QCX-Terra's agent card, detailing supported interfaces (`JSON-RPC`, `HTTP+REST`), streaming capabilities, and available skills (`geospatial-analysis`, `satellite-embeddings`, `planet-computer`).
