Auto Agent Protocol

Skip to main content<br>An A2A Profile<br>AAP is a strict A2A v1.0 profile: typed automotive messages ride on top of A2A's data layer. Use the JSON-RPC or HTTP+JSON binding — both work identically.

Five Skills<br>dealer.information, inventory.facets, inventory.search, inventory.vehicle, lead.submit. Everything a BDC needs in one unified contract.

FTC-Aware Pricing<br>Four explicit pricing fields (msrp, list_price, offered_price, price). The price field reflects the FTC-mandated final out-the-door amount, not bait pricing.

Anonymous First<br>Inventory operations are anonymous by default. Personal data only travels with leads, and only with an explicit ConsentGrant attached.

ADF-Mappable Leads<br>lead.submit is field-by-field convertible to ADF/XML, so any compliant lead drops cleanly into existing dealer CRMs without bespoke integration.

MCP Ready<br>An official MCP wrapper exposes every AAP skill as an MCP tool, so LLM-only clients can use the same contract without speaking A2A directly.

Five skills, one contract<br>AAP standardizes the five skills every dealership BDC actually needs — anonymous inventory queries plus a single unified lead.submit that bundles vehicle interest, trade-in, and appointment scheduling in one consented call. No quotes, no checkout, no payment scope. Just the read-and-lead lifecycle, typed and validated.<br>Browse the skills

FTC-aware pricing, baked in<br>Vehicles carry four explicit pricing fields. The price field is the FTC-required final out-the-door amount — what the buyer would actually pay. msrp, list_price, and the regional offered_price sit beside it, so AI agents can give honest answers and dealers can stay on the right side of recent FTC enforcement.<br>Read the pricing semantics

How AAP relates to other protocols<br>A2A<br>The base. AAP is a strict A2A v1.0 profile. Every AAP message rides inside an A2A DataPart.

ACP / UCP<br>Complementary. AAP focuses on automotive leads and appointments, not commerce checkout flows.

MCP<br>Complementary. AAP ships an official MCP wrapper that exposes every skill as an MCP tool.

ADF/XML<br>Legacy bridge. lead.submit maps field-by-field to ADF/XML for existing dealer CRMs.
