中文摘要

大语言模型的快速发展催生了能够进行复杂推理和执行的自主基于LLM的智能体。随着这些智能体从孤立操作过渡到协作生态系统，我们见证了Agent-to-Agent（A2A）网络的出现，这是一种异构智能体自主协调以解决多步骤任务的范式。虽然这些网络可能比仅使用一个智能体完成整个任务提供更好的任务性能，但它们引入了系统性漏洞，如对抗性组合、语义不对齐和级联操作故障，现有智能体对齐技术无法解决。在本展望论文中，我们认为A2A网络的可信性无法通过主要在现有协议上进行修补来完全保证，这些协议很大程度上是为单个智能体设计的。相反，它必须从A2A协调框架的最开始就进行架构设计。我们提出了一个全面的概念框架，通过四个设计支柱将信任置于A2A系统中。

原文摘要

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models has given rise to autonomous LLM-based agents capable of complex reasoning and execution. As these agents transition from isolated operation to collaborative ecosystems, we witness the emergence of the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) network, a paradigm where heterogeneous agents autonomously coordinate to solve multi-step tasks. While these networks may offer better task performance compared to simply using one agent to complete the entire task, they introduce systemic vulnerabilities, such as adversarial composition, semantic misalignment, and cascading operational failures, that existing agent alignment techniques cannot address. In this vision paper, we argue that the trustworthiness of A2A networks cannot be fully guaranteed via retrofitting on existing protocols that are largely designed for individual agents. Rather, it must be architected from the very beginning of the A2A coordination framework. We present a comprehensive conceptual framework that situates trust in A2A systems through four design pillars.
