Synapse A2A Agent Communication FAQs

Question 1

What should I do if a target agent is busy?

Accepted Answer

Use `synapse list` to check agent status. If an agent is in 'PROCESSING' mode, you can either wait for it to become 'READY' or send a message with `--priority 5` for an emergency interrupt.

Question 2

What is Synapse A2A?

Accepted Answer

It is a specialized communication framework that enables different AI agents to interact, share information, and coordinate complex tasks using the Google A2A protocol.

Question 3

How does the file safety feature work?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes a `file-safety` utility that manages file locks, preventing multiple agents from attempting to modify the same file simultaneously, which prevents data corruption.

Question 4

Can I wait for a response from an agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by adding the `--response` flag, the sender will block until a reply is received. The receiver must then use the `--reply-to` flag with the specific task ID to complete the roundtrip.

Question 5

How do I send a message to another agent using this skill?

Accepted Answer

You can use the command `synapse send "" --from `. This works across different agent environments, including sandboxed instances.
