​
Overview

The message/send method is the primary way to communicate with A2A agents synchronously. Send a message and receive a complete response in a single HTTP request.
Synchronous Communication: This method blocks until the agent provides a complete response. For streaming responses, use message/stream instead.

​

Best Practices

  • Always use UUID v4 for messageId fields
  • Keep request IDs unique for proper correlation
  • Store contextId from responses for multi-turn conversations
  • Use Base64 encoding without data URL prefix
  • Specify correct MIME types for proper handling
  • Keep files under 5MB for optimal performance
  • Always check for error field in responses
  • Implement retry logic for transient errors (5xx codes)
  • Validate JSON-RPC format before sending requests
