A2A Agent as Function Tools

This sample demonstrates how to represent an A2A agent as a set of function tools, where each function tool corresponds to a skill of the A2A agent, and register these function tools with another AI agent so it can leverage the A2A agent's skills.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • .NET 10 SDK or later
  • Access to the A2A agent host service

Note: These samples need to be run against a valid A2A server. If no A2A server is available, they can be run against the echo-agent that can be spun up locally by following the guidelines at: https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-dotnet/blob/main/samples/AgentServer/README.md

Set the following environment variables:

$env:A2A_AGENT_HOST="https://your-a2a-agent-host" # Replace with your A2A agent host endpoint
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/" # Replace with your Azure OpenAI resource endpoint
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
