Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00046 | $0.00971 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00388 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00194 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00097 |
Grade A, and why
a2a-server scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

A2A Server Implementation

Conceptual Architecture
What an A2A Server Does
An A2A server is the agent's network endpoint that:
- Serves the Agent Card at
/.well-known/agent-card.json - Accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 requests at the agent's URL
- Routes requests to the appropriate method handler
- Manages task state (creation, updates, terminal states)
- Executes the agent's logic (the "brain" — typically an LLM or deterministic logic)
- Returns responses in the correct JSON-RPC format
Request Processing Flow
HTTP POST → JSON-RPC parse → Method routing → Handler execution → Task state update → JSON-RPC response
Methods to Implement
Every A2A server must handle:
| Method | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
message/send |
Yes | Receive a message, create/update task, return result |
message/stream |
If streaming | Same as send but returns SSE stream |
tasks/get |
Yes | Return task by ID |
tasks/cancel |
Yes | Cancel a task |
tasks/resubscribe |
If streaming | Re-subscribe to task's SSE stream |
| Push notification methods | If supported | Configure/manage push notification callbacks |
Task State Management
The server is responsible for task state transitions:
- Create tasks in
submittedstate when receiving new messages - Transition to
workingwhen processing begins - Transition to
input-requiredwhen more input is needed - Transition to terminal state (
completed,failed,canceled,rejected) when done - Never transition from a terminal state to a non-terminal state
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

a2a-server is a skill published in the GitHub repository OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins (39 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 971 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
