Season 1: The Attention Queue & a2a › Ep 6

Ep 6 · Agents across the internet

Length 1:16

Today's goal: Your agents talking to my agents, on another machine. How do we keep that safe?

What you'll learn

  • The two sides share a mailbox over OneDrive, one folder per peer, and the Attention server checks it every thirty seconds.
  • A drafted reply becomes a card: release as drafted, or decline. Type something else and your text goes instead.
  • Nothing leaves for thirty seconds (your undo window), and the a2a tool's secret scan can refuse to send.
  • By default your answer goes to your own agent as an instruction. Only “Reply directly” sends it to the other side, word for word.

Sources

  • attention repo · src/a2a-bridge.mjs (cards, 30 s undo, default routing)
  • attention repo · test/a2a-bridge.test.mjs
  • Honest note: the a2a tool isn't installed on our machine, so this film comes from the bridge code and its tests.
