A2Apex tests, scores, and certifies AI agents built on Google's A2A Protocol.
Grounded in available product and source data
AI agents built on different frameworks — LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI — don't interoperate out of the box, and can fail silently once they're in production. A2Apex offers trust scores and certification for A2A AI agents specifically to close that gap, testing an agent against Google's own A2A protocol specification before anyone has to trust it blindly.
Getting certified follows four steps: point A2Apex at an agent's URL and it auto-discovers the agent card and available capabilities, run an automated protocol-conformance suite that tests every aspect of the A2A protocol with real JSON-RPC calls, receive a trust score with a Gold, Silver, or Bronze badge, and get listed in a public, searchable directory with a profile page. Security Checking runs alongside the protocol tests specifically, validating auth schemes like API keys, OAuth, and JWT so a certified agent isn't just spec-conformant but reasonably locked down.
A public Agent Directory turns certification into discoverability — sample listings show a weather forecasting agent, a code assistant, and a data analyst agent each carrying a trust score and a count of tests passed, letting a developer browse for an agent they can verify rather than trust on a vendor's word alone.
Pricing spans a Free tier with a small monthly test allowance and a badge that expires after a period, up through Pro, Startup, and Enterprise tiers that raise usage limits and add API/SDK access, bulk testing, and eventually permanent non-expiring badges at the top tier. A2Apex is currently in beta, and the page reviewed does not specify what changes for existing certified agents once CLI/SDK and CI/CD integration (stated as a future roadmap phase) actually ships.
It's automatic — entering an agent's URL is enough for A2Apex to discover the agent card and its available capabilities without manual data entry.
The page reviewed does not specify ongoing re-testing after initial certification, though badge validity periods differ by plan — from an expiring badge on the Free tier up to a permanent badge at the Enterprise tier.
Not automatically — spec conformance and the auth-scheme review are tested as separate steps, so passing Agent Card Validation doesn't by itself confirm the auth setup would also pass the dedicated Security Checking step.
It's derived from A2Apex's own automated testing rather than self-reported — each listed agent's profile shows its trust score alongside the count of tests it actually passed.
Not yet by the stated roadmap — CLI, SDK, and CI/CD integration is listed as a future phase rather than part of the platform's current, live testing and directory functionality.
