# OmniRoute A2A Server Documentation
|
|
|
|
> Agent-to-Agent Protocol v0.3 — OmniRoute as an intelligent routing agent
|
|
|
|
The A2A surface has two faces:
|
|
|
|
- **JSON-RPC 2.0** at `POST /a2a` (canonical entry point, defined in `src/app/a2a/route.ts`).
|
|
- **REST** under `/api/a2a/*` for dashboards and tooling (status, task list, cancel).
|
|
|
|
Tasks are tracked by `A2ATaskManager` (`src/lib/a2a/taskManager.ts`, default 5-minute TTL). Skills are dispatched via `A2A_SKILL_HANDLERS` in `src/lib/a2a/taskExecution.ts`.
|
|
|
|
## Agent Discovery
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns the Agent Card describing OmniRoute's capabilities, skills, and authentication requirements.
|
|
|
|
The Agent Card's `version` field is sourced from `process.env.npm_package_version` (see `src/app/.well-known/agent.json/route.ts:13`), so it stays auto-synced with `package.json` on every release.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
All `/a2a` requests require an API key via the `Authorization` header:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_OMNIROUTE_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If no API key is configured on the server, authentication is bypassed.
|
|
|
|
## Enablement
|
|
|
|
A2A is controlled by the **Endpoints → A2A** toggle and is disabled by default. When disabled,
|
|
`GET /api/a2a/status` reports `status: "disabled"` and `online: false`; JSON-RPC calls to
|
|
`POST /a2a` return HTTP 503 with JSON-RPC error code `-32000`.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## JSON-RPC 2.0 Methods
|
|
|
|
### `message/send` — Synchronous Execution
|
|
|
|
Sends a message to a skill and waits for the complete response.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": "1",
|
|
"method": "message/send",
|
|
"params": {
|
|
"skill": "smart-routing",
|
|
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a hello world in Python"}],
|
|
"metadata": {"model": "auto", "combo": "fast-coding"}
|
|
}
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Response:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": "1",
|
|
"result": {
|
|
"task": { "id": "uuid", "state": "completed" },
|
|
"artifacts": [{ "type": "text", "content": "..." }],
|
|
"metadata": {
|
|
"routing_explanation": "Selected claude-sonnet via provider \"anthropic\" (latency: 1200ms, cost: $0.003)",
|
|
"cost_envelope": { "estimated": 0.005, "actual": 0.003, "currency": "USD" },
|
|
"resilience_trace": [
|
|
{ "event": "primary_selected", "provider": "anthropic", "timestamp": "..." }
|
|
],
|
|
"policy_verdict": { "allowed": true, "reason": "within budget and quota limits" }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `message/stream` — SSE Streaming
|
|
|
|
Same as `message/send` but returns Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -N -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": "1",
|
|
"method": "message/stream",
|
|
"params": {
|
|
"skill": "smart-routing",
|
|
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}]
|
|
}
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**SSE Events:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
data: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"message/stream","params":{"task":{"id":"...","state":"working"},"chunk":{"type":"text","content":"..."}}}
|
|
|
|
: heartbeat 2026-03-03T17:00:00Z
|
|
|
|
data: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"message/stream","params":{"task":{"id":"...","state":"completed"},"metadata":{...}}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `tasks/get` — Query Task Status
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
|
|
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"tasks/get","params":{"taskId":"TASK_UUID"}}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `tasks/cancel` — Cancel a Task
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
|
|
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","method":"tasks/cancel","params":{"taskId":"TASK_UUID"}}'
|
|
```

## Available Skills
|
|
|
|
OmniRoute exposes 6 A2A skills wired in `src/lib/a2a/taskExecution.ts::A2A_SKILL_HANDLERS`. Each skill module lives in `src/lib/a2a/skills/`.
|
|
|
|
| Skill | ID | Description | Tags | Examples |
|
|
| :----------------- | :------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------- | :------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Smart Routing | `smart-routing` | Routes a prompt through the optimal provider/combo using OmniRoute's combo engine + scoring | routing, providers | "Route this prompt via the best model" |
|
|
| Quota Management | `quota-management` | Reports per-provider quota state, helps callers decide when to throttle/switch | quota, providers | "Check quota for anthropic" |
|
|
| Provider Discovery | `provider-discovery` | Lists installed providers with capabilities, free-tier flags, OAuth status | providers, discovery | "What providers are available?" |
|
|
| Cost Analysis | `cost-analysis` | Estimates cost of a request/conversation given the catalog + recent usage | cost, usage | "Estimate cost for this conversation" |
|
|
| Health Report | `health-report` | Aggregates circuit breaker, cooldown, lockout state per provider | health, resilience | "Show health status of all providers" |
|
|
| List Capabilities | `list-capabilities` | Returns the full 42-entry Agent Skills catalog as a markdown table with raw SKILL.md URLs for context injection | catalog, discovery, skills | "List all OmniRoute capabilities" |
|
|
|
|
> Note: the Agent Card description currently advertises "36+ providers" (`src/app/.well-known/agent.json/route.ts:26` and `:55`). The actual catalog has grown to 180+ providers — the string should be updated in a follow-up change (tracked as a separate doc/code TODO; not modified here).
|
|
|
|
### `list-capabilities` Skill Detail
|
|
|
|
The `list-capabilities` skill is particularly useful for external agents that need to discover what OmniRoute exposes before sending API calls. It returns a structured markdown table artifact:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
| ID | Name | Category | Area | Endpoints/Commands | Raw URL |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| omni-auth | Auth & Sessions | api | auth | POST /api/auth/login, ... | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... |
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each row includes the `rawUrl` column so agents can immediately fetch the full SKILL.md. The `metadata.totalSkills` field is always `42`. Implementation: `src/lib/a2a/skills/listCapabilities.ts`. See also [AGENT-SKILLS.md](./AGENT-SKILLS.md).
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## REST API (auxiliary)
|
|
|
|
The JSON-RPC endpoint `/a2a` is the canonical A2A entry point. The REST endpoints below provide auxiliary access for dashboards and external tooling:
|
|
|
|
| Endpoint | Method | Description | Auth |
|
|
| :--------------------------- | :----- | :------------------------------- | :--------------------- |
|
|
| `/api/a2a/status` | GET | Server status, registered skills | (public) |
|
|
| `/api/a2a/tasks` | GET | List tasks with filters | management |
|
|
| `/api/a2a/tasks/[id]` | GET | Get task by ID | management |
|
|
| `/api/a2a/tasks/[id]/cancel` | POST | Cancel running task | management |
|
|
| `/.well-known/agent.json` | GET | Agent Card (A2A discovery) | (public, cached 3600s) |
|
|
|

|
|
## Adding a New Skill
|
|
|
|
1. **Create skill file:** `src/lib/a2a/skills/<your-skill>.ts`
|
|
|
|
Export an async function `(task: A2ATask) => Promise<{ artifacts, metadata }>`. Follow the shape of existing skills such as `smartRouting.ts`.
|
|
|
|
2. **Register handler:** in `src/lib/a2a/taskExecution.ts`, add an entry to `A2A_SKILL_HANDLERS`:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
export const A2A_SKILL_HANDLERS = {
|
|
// ...existing skills
|
|
"your-skill": async (task) => {
|
|
const skillModule = await import("./skills/yourSkill");
|
|
return skillModule.executeYourSkill(task);
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Expose in Agent Card:** in `src/app/.well-known/agent.json/route.ts`, append to the `skills` array:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "your-skill",
|
|
"name": "Your Skill",
|
|
"description": "Brief, intent-focused description",
|
|
"tags": ["routing", "quota"],
|
|
"examples": ["Sample natural-language invocation"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Write tests:** `tests/unit/a2a-<your-skill>.test.ts`. Cover happy path + error path.
|
|
|
|
5. **Document** the new skill in this file's `Available Skills` table.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Task TTL
|
|
|
|
Tasks expire after `ttlMinutes` (default 5 min) — configured in the `A2ATaskManager` constructor at `src/lib/a2a/taskManager.ts:82`. To customize, fork the `A2ATaskManager` instantiation and pass a different value (e.g., `new A2ATaskManager(15)` for 15-minute TTL). A background interval sweeps expired tasks every 60 seconds.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Task Lifecycle
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
submitted → working → completed
|
|
→ failed
|
|
→ cancelled
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Tasks expire after 5 minutes by default (see [Task TTL](#task-ttl))
|
|
- Terminal states: `completed`, `failed`, `cancelled`
|
|
- Event log tracks every state transition
|
|
