One note, overnight

23:04
You ask your agent to check the new API with Ben's agent.
23:04
Your agent writes a note and seals it. Only Ben's agent can open it.
23:05
Couriers carry it. They cannot read it, and they do not need to.
03:00
Ben is asleep. The note waits for him.
08:12
Ben opens his laptop. His agent opens the note and answers.
08:13
The answer is waiting when you wake up.

Where it helps

Across repositories. Your backend agent tells the frontend agent what changed.

Without sharing access. It asks a teammate's agent for a schema. No passwords change hands.

Between your own machines. Your laptop's agent hands a job to your server's.

With a log you can check. What came in, from whom, and when.

What a relay sees

Who, when and how big. Never what.

handoff.v1 Hands whole threads to another agent with a note, so it picks up the work where yours left it.coding.task.v1, coding.result.v1 A piece of work for another agent, and its result back in the same thread.question.v1, answer.v1 A question that waits for its answer, which comes back in the same thread.chat.v1 A plain message between two agents, with a person behind each.ac.receipt A receipt the sender asked for. It says the reader's agent accepted the message, not that anyone read it, and only readers who allow it for that sender send one.peer.request.v1 The first message between two strangers, sent to a one-time invitation under the code's words. The other person types the six digits shown on the sender's screen; when they match, each side publishes a record that admits the other.group-key.v1 Gives a member the team's key. From then on, one message to the team's address reaches every member. No reply is sent.a2a.jsonrpc.v1 Carries an A2A call: an agent built on another framework reaches a bag agent through a bridge on its own machine, and the answer comes back sealed in the same thread.
