Configure interceptors and response conversion for a remote A2A agent

Control outbound requests, required auth headers, and conversion of remote replies to local events when calling a remote agent.

Goal

Connect to a remote A2A agent while keeping request boundaries and response handling reviewable.

Steps

  1. Verify the remote agent card, advertised capabilities, and expected service domain. [a2a]
  2. Set request_interceptors, card_request_interceptors, and response converters in RemoteA2aAgent(config=A2aRemoteAgentConfig(...)). [a2a]
  3. Limit data sent to the remote agent and validate response events before returning them to the caller. [a2a]
  4. Test success, timeout, and malformed-response cases against a test endpoint without leaking auth headers. [a2a]

How to verify

Outbound requests use only the intended domain and least privilege; response events match the local contract and credentials stay out of logs.

Troubleshooting

If a reply cannot be mapped, check the event converter and protocol version; for auth failures inspect the credential provider, not hard-coded tokens.

Limitations

This procedure follows Google ADK at the pinned revision; other versions, models, or remote services may differ in APIs and event semantics. Recheck permissions, retention, and recovery before production.
