Announcing the public preview of A2A API support in Azure API Management.
With this new capability, organizations can manage and govern agent APIs
alongside other API types — AI model APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools,
and traditional APIs such as REST, SOAP, and GraphQL.
This update empowers
customers to extend their established API governance and security practices into
the evolving agentic ecosystem, strengthening secure access, enforcing policies
consistently, and ensuring observability for AI agents.
A2A APIs in Azure API Management offer advanced mediation of
JSON-RPC runtime operations with robust policy support, enable agent card exposure
to agents, users, or clients, and provide comprehensive tracing aligned with
the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic convention.
Additionally, you now have the option to register A2A
APIs in Azure API Center, enabling organization-wide discovery and governance
of agent APIs.
