Practise and Check

Deliverable
Agent as a service: put your agentic RAG graph behind A2A and call it from an agent built in a different framework.
Assessment
Answer the five Interview questions without notes, then run the lab.
Interview probe
Larkspur's support desk agent calls the handbook agent over A2A, then passes the reply to a writer agent. Customers start getting answers that quote `context_id=` and `TaskStatus(`. Nothing errored. Where do you look?
Common mistakes
  • Re-raising after setting a task to failed, leaking raw exception text
  • Reading str(result) from a Task instead of its status message parts
  • Routing to the document agent by keyword, so web questions misroute
