QWED A2A v0.1.0 — The verification gateway for autonomous agent ecosystems. See the repo →
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.Quick example
