What is dify-a2a-plugin CLAUDE.md?

A set of development instructions for a Dify plugin that lets AI agents find, call, and manage other agents through the Agent-to-Agent protocol. Dify is a platform for building and running AI applications and agents.

Developing and testing the plugin, communicating with remote agents through JSON-RPC, and creating an installable Dify package.

It explains how to install dependencies, run tests, package the plugin, and account for the Python version used in production.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.03363	$0.03363

Security

Grade A, and why

dify-a2a-plugin CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Dify plugin that implements the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, allowing Dify agents to communicate with and delegate tasks to external agents. The plugin provides tools for discovering, calling, and managing remote agents through JSON-RPC 2.0.

Development Commands

Plugin Development and Testing

# Install Python dependencies
# Note: Manifest requires Python 3.12, but newer versions may work in development
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Mac/Linux
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run unit tests
python3 -m unittest tools/tests/test_a2a_registry.py

# Build the plugin package (creates .difypkg file)
dify plugin package

# Install the Dify CLI (if not already installed)
brew tap langgenius/dify
brew install dify

Important Notes:

Manifest specifies Python 3.12 as runtime requirement
Local development may work with newer Python versions (e.g., 3.14)
Production deployment in Dify will use Python 3.12 as specified in manifest

Local Testing with Dify Plugin Runtime

For testing with the actual Dify plugin runtime environment:

Using Dify CLI debug mode:
```
dify plugin start --debug
```
With dify-plugin-daemon (if available locally):
- dify-plugin-daemon is not included in this repository (gitignored)
- It's a local reference copy of the Dify plugin runtime
- See Dify documentation for setting up local daemon

Architecture Overview

Plugin Structure

This is a Tool Provider Plugin that exposes 5 tools for A2A protocol operations:

list_agents - Lists all available agents from the registry
get_agent_capabilities - Fetches agent card from /.well-known/agent-card.json (fallback to agent.json)
call_agent - Synchronous agent invocation via message/send JSON-RPC method
submit_task - Asynchronous task submission via message/stream with SSE (extracts taskId from first event)
get_task_status - Check status of async tasks via tasks/get JSON-RPC method

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
