Consider A2A for controlled agent integrations, with production adoption conditional on testing your exact implementation.

Why: Practitioner experience and narrow independent experiments show useful coordination. Broad current-version reliability remains unestablished, and security research identifies risks across trust boundaries.
Next: Pin protocol and SDK versions, test cross-vendor task flows and failure handling, and validate authorization, delegation and agent identity before expanding access.

Constraints

Public field reports do not establish v1.0.1 reliability across vendors and SDKs.
Protocol-level trust and delegation risks require additional security controls.
Cross-agent observability and operational safety need application-level engineering.
Published deployment metrics remain internal and are not independently auditable.
Version migration and evolving protocol behavior require compatibility testing.
