Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol complements MCP and defines a protocol for agents to communicate with each other. Agents advertise their capabilities in “Agent Cards,” which allows for the completion of “tasks” and the production of “artifacts.” Notably, A2A includes built-in authorization and authentication schemes that are not present in MCP.
