A2A Protocol Part 2: Task Delegation Between Coordinator and Specialist AI Agents
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-11-05
Second post in the A2A series, covering task delegation between agents.
- A coordinator agent can send tasks to specialized agents instead of handling everything itself
- The receiving agent processes the request and returns a result
- Agents can specialize in research, coding, analysis, and more — suited to multi-agent systems with clear division of labor
Links to the official a2aproject/A2A GitHub repo (26.4k stars), an Apache-2.0 open protocol hosted under the Linux Foundation for interoperability between opaque agentic applications.
