A Mechanism-Design Framework for Verifiable Multi-Agent Interaction over A2A/MCP: Modern LLM-agent frameworks increasingly interoperate through standards such as Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent-to-tool access and Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol for agent delegation and negotiation.
