franzvill / lad
An open protocol for discovering A2A-capable AI agents on local networks — the discovery & trust bootstrap layer beneath A2A (mDNS/DNS-SD, well-known endpoints, signed AgentCards).
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
LAD-A2A addresses a critical gap in the AI agent ecosystem: when a device joins a network—hotel Wi-Fi, office LAN, cruise ship, hospital campus—how does the user's AI assistant discover and connect to local agents? While A2A defines agent-to-agent communication and MCP defines agent-to-tool integration, LAD-A2A defines agent discovery.
