Story

On June 16–17, Google extended its A2A interoperability push with a standard for how agents discover available resources and tools, the same week Microsoft's Work IQ went GA with A2A plus remote MCP. It's a multi-vendor race to standardize the plumbing. Design against the interop specs, A2A, MCP, resource discovery, rather than any single SDK.
