* restructure: Python samples into progressive 01-05 layout - 01-get-started/: 6 numbered steps (hello agent → hosting) - 02-agents/: all agent concept samples (tools, middleware, providers, etc.) - 03-workflows/: ALL existing workflow samples preserved as-is - 04-hosting/: azure-functions, durabletask, a2a - 05-end-to-end/: demos, evaluation, hosted agents - Old files moved to _to_delete/ for review - Added AGENTS.md with structure documentation - autogen-migration/ and semantic-kernel-migration/ preserved at root * fix: switch to AzureOpenAI Foundry, fix CI failures - Switch all 01-get-started samples to AzureOpenAIResponsesClient with Azure AI Foundry project endpoint (AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT + AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME + AzureCliCredential) - Add _to_delete/ and 05-end-to-end/ to pyrightconfig.samples.json excludes - Fix test paths in packages/ that referenced old getting_started/ dirs: durabletask conftest + streaming test, azurefunctions conftest, devui conftest + capture_messages + openai_sdk_integration - Fix workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py import (sibling import) - Update hosting READMEs and tool comment paths - Replace root README.md with new structure overview - Update AGENTS.md to document Azure OpenAI Foundry as default provider * cleanup: remove _to_delete folder, copy resource files to active dirs All files in _to_delete/ were either: - Exact duplicates of files in the new structure (240 files) - Same file with only comment path updates (100 files) - One import-fix diff (workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py) - One superseded minimal_sample.py Resource files (sample.pdf, countries.json, employees.pdf, weather.json) copied to 02-agents/sample_assets/ and 02-agents/resources/ since active samples reference them. * fix: address PR review comments, centralize resources, remove root duplicates - Fix type annotation in 04_memory.py (string union -> proper types) - Fix old sample paths in observability files - Fix grammar/spelling in observability samples - Move sample_assets/ and resources/ to shared/ folder - Remove 8 duplicate observability files from 02-agents root - Update resource path references in multimodal_input and provider samples * fix: update broken links from old getting_started paths to new structure - Update relative paths in READMEs: getting_started/ → 01-get-started/, 02-agents/, 03-workflows/, 04-hosting/, 05-end-to-end/ - Fix absolute GitHub URLs in package READMEs - Fix broken link in ollama package README * fix: convert absolute GitHub URLs to relative paths for link checker Absolute URLs to python/samples/ on main branch 404 until PR merges. Converted to relative paths that linkspector can verify locally. * fix: update link for handoff sample moved to orchestrations/ * fix: update chatkit-integration README path from demos/ to 05-end-to-end/ * fix: update broken links in orchestrations README to match flat directory structure
A2A Agent Examples
This folder contains examples demonstrating how to create and use agents with the A2A (Agent2Agent) protocol from the agent_framework package to communicate with remote A2A agents.
By default the A2AAgent waits for the remote agent to finish before returning (background=False), so long-running A2A tasks are handled transparently. For advanced scenarios where you need to poll or resubscribe to in-progress tasks using continuation tokens, see the background responses sample.
For more information about the A2A protocol specification, visit: https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/
Examples
| File | Description |
|---|---|
agent_with_a2a.py |
Demonstrates agent discovery, non-streaming and streaming responses using the A2A protocol. |
Environment Variables
Make sure to set the following environment variables before running the example:
Required
A2A_AGENT_HOST: URL of a single A2A agent (for simple sample, e.g.,http://localhost:5001/)
Quick Testing with .NET A2A Servers
For quick testing and demonstration, you can use the pre-built .NET A2A servers from this repository:
Quick Testing Reference: Use the .NET A2A Client Server sample at:

Run Python A2A Sample
# Simple A2A sample (single agent)
