What is QWED A2A?

QWED A2A is a verification interceptor that sits between autonomous agents communicating via Google’s Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. It intercepts every payload, runs deterministic verification, and either forwards or blocks the message — with a signed JWT attestation proving the decision.
“Agents don’t trust each other. QWED verifies for them.”

Why A2A is different from Extensions

Extensions (Finance, Legal, Tax)

Domain-specific guard libraries that verify individual claims — financial math, legal citations, tax rules.

A2A Protocol (This)

Infrastructure-level interceptor that verifies all inter-agent communication — payloads, trust boundaries, and cryptographic attestations.

Core capabilities

Verification Interceptor

Routes payloads to specialized engines — financial math, logic assertions, code security — and blocks hallucinations before they propagate.

Zero-Trust Boundary

Deny-all by default. Agent pairs must be explicitly trusted. Token-bucket rate limiting with automatic eviction of cold pairs.

Crypto Attestations

Every verdict is signed with an ES256 JWT attestation — tamper-proof, auditable, and verifiable by any party in the chain.

Deterministic Engines

Financial verification uses Decimal arithmetic. Logic uses set-based contradiction detection. Code uses regex-hardened pattern scanning.
