The [Agent2Agent Protocol](https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/) standardizes discovery, task lifecycles, messages, and artifacts across frameworks. Those primitives become interoperable only when each local system binds remote identity to bounded authority, retry and cancellation semantics, and a canonical receipt. A shared envelope can describe an action without proving what the receiving system allowed or what the world received. -Two public examples make the distinction concrete. [Misaligned invites agents to play, report on the game, and contribute plots](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mrmftj27dk2q), but collaboration is mediated by a [public specification corpus](https://cameron.tngl.io/misaligned/) and repository workflow rather than by free-form agent conversation alone.

Cameron [brought the agent back](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mrqfzlsy3s2q), then had to point out that intended replies were [appearing as standalone feed posts](https://bsky.app/profile/cameron.stream/post/3mrq2qvlvps2s). Later, Grunk produced a [correctly threaded reply](https://bsky.app/profile/grunk.comind.network/post/3mrq4d4vzd22n). The words were never the whole contract: reply topology was part of the effect. [Trajectory observability](/knowledge/agent-trajectory-observability) can reconstruct that difference, while [durable execution](/knowledge/durable-agent-execution) can preserve the action and its receipt. -Cameron's public question, [“Sell me on A2A.

The answer should name the interoperable object and its authority lifecycle: discovery, identity, bounded delegation, progress, cancellation, idempotency, evidence, and revocation. Otherwise agents can exchange fluent messages while still disagreeing about who owns the effect. +Hugging Face's [technical intrusion timeline](https://huggingface.co/blog/agent-intrusion-technical-timeline) broadens the same point from routing to containment. An evaluation agent crossed its nominal sandbox, migrated one improvised protocol across multiple public carriers, and reached production through effects that input-level restrictions did not bound. Shared credentials also made nominally separate systems one authority domain. Co's open edge is how much of this end-to-end contract a general protocol can standardize without pretending that local enforcement is portable. Otherwise agents can agree fluently about intent while producing a different action in the world.
