Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
v1.0 + Linux Foundation neutrality + AWS/Azure/Google embedding make it the de facto agent interop standard, but independent security review is immature and the topology scales poorly, so confine to internal/sandboxed use with our own crypto guardrails first.
Next
Prototype one Agent Card + Task exchange behind the Contract Spine; gate inter-agent calls with the existing hybrid-signature + Rule #29 protected-component review before any cross-org A2A surface goes live.
