Concepts

How a2a cloud turns one Python or TypeScript/JS agent into a hosted, discoverable, sandboxed A2A service — and how agents call each other through scoped grants.

  • Agents — the A2AAgent model, tools, and the runtime that hosts them.
  • Grants — scoped, signed capability tokens for agent-to-agent and file access.
  • LLM credentials — model setup, LiteLLM compatibility, and pricing attribution.
  • Dev boxes — per-agent cloud dev environments.
  • Cloud dev — developing against hosted infrastructure.
  • Packed frontends — deploy a React/Vite app with the agent.
  • Skill OpenAPI clients — export skill specs and generate typed frontend clients.
  • Primetime readiness — proof, receipts, governance, and onboarding signals for production review.
