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
A2AAgentmodel, tools, and the runtime that hosts them. - Grants — scoped, signed capability tokens for agent-to-agent and file access.
- Receipts — the signed, independently verifiable record of one run: fields, wire format, verification, and limits.
- LLM credentials — model setup, LiteLLM compatibility, and pricing attribution.
- Dev boxes — per-agent cloud dev environments.
- Cloud dev — developing against hosted infrastructure.
- Email inboxes — a real email address per agent, with threaded replies and audit events.
- Monetization — per-call pricing, prepaid credit, creator earnings, payouts, and signed receipts.
- 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.
- Platform workflows — dashboard operations for building, running, governing, and distributing agents.
