### Description (declared)

# a2a-agent-sdk

A framework-agnostic SDK for building [A2A](https://github.com/a2aproject/A2A)-compliant
agent runners that work with [kagent](https://kagent.dev)'s BYO (bring-your-own) agent
pattern. Plug in **any** agent implementation — LangGraph, a plain function, a
different framework entirely — and get a fully working A2A service for free:
agent-card discovery, `message/send`, `message/stream`, health, and API-key auth.

The point of this SDK: your agent implementation can change completely, but the
input your callers send and the output they get back never do.

## Install

```bash
pip install -e /path/to/a2a-agent-sdk
```

(Not yet published to a package index — install from a local checkout or a git URL.)

## Quickstart

Implement one method, `invoke`, that takes the conversation so far and returns text:

```python
from a2a_agent_sdk import A2ARunner, RunnerConfig, Message

class MyAgent:
    def invoke(self, messages: list[Message]) -> str:
        last_user_text = messages[-1].content
        return f"You said: {last_user_text}"

runner = A2ARunner(
    agent=MyAgent(),
    config=RunnerConfig(name="My Agent", description="Echoes the user."),
)
app = runner.app  # a plain FastAPI instance
```

Run it:

```bash
uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
```

Try it:

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"parts":[{"kind":"text","text":"hello"}]}}}'
```

See `examples/function_agent/` for the complete runnable version of this example.

## Adding real streaming

If your agent can produce text incrementally, implement `astream` too and
`message/stream` will emit it token-by-token instead of as one chunk:

```python
from typing import AsyncIterator

class MyStreamingAgent:
    def invoke(self, messages: list[Message]) -> str:
        return "hello there friend "

    async def astream(self, messages: list[Message]) -> AsyncIterator[str]…
