Bind A2A (Agent2Agent) Agent Cards to a Vouch identity for verifiable agent-to-agent trust.

vouch-a2a

Bind A2A (Agent2Agent) Agent Cards to a Vouch identity, so two agents can establish trust before they collaborate.

A2A standardized how agents discover and talk to each other through Agent Cards. It does not, by itself, prove who stands behind an agent. vouch-a2a attaches a W3C Verifiable Credential (eddsa-jcs-2022 Data Integrity proof) to the card, optionally with a delegation chain back to the human or org that operates the agent. A verifier can then refuse an unsigned or impostor peer.

Install

pip install vouch-a2a

Sign an Agent Card

from vouch import Signer
from vouch_a2a import sign_agent_card

signer = Signer(private_key=PRIV_JWK, did="did:web:agents.acme.com")

card = {
    "name": "BillingAgent",
    "url": "https://agents.acme.com/billing",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "capabilities": {"streaming": True},
    "skills": [{"id": "invoice", "name": "Create invoice"}],
}

signed_card = sign_agent_card(signer, card)          # adds a 'vouchCredential' field
# Optionally bind to an org principal:
# signed_card = sign_agent_card(signer, card, parent_credential=org_principal_cred)

Verify a peer's card

from vouch_a2a import verify_agent_card

ok, passport = verify_agent_card(peer_card, public_key=peer_pubkey)
if not ok:
    raise PermissionError("Refusing to collaborate with an unverified agent")

The credential binds to the card's url (the stable agent identity). The input card is never mutated; sign_agent_card returns a copy.
