A2A agent census

Byte-identical copy of the Hugging Face dataset csoai/a2a-census at revision 35074f81f59dd2330d3d0e883c56200402276660. It was copied only after that revision scored 100% on CSOAI's outward quality gate (2026-09-29T06:10:57Z). Per-file SHA-256 values are in MANIFEST.json. The card below is the dataset card, unedited. A listing on this site is a copy for access, not a sign of adoption. A2A agent census DISCOVERED — read-only census of A2A (Agent2Agent) agent cards. Keyless crawl of /.well-known/agent-card.json + A2A v1.0 conformance + ONE controlled deterministic capability probe per agent. No real task was ever sent to a stranger agent; nothing published. The live board is GET https://councilof.ai/api/gspc. Defensible seed list: the agent domains discovered genuinely on-chain-live in the ERC-8004 live-filter (their declared service endpoints), plus a curated set of well-known A2A domains. We fetched /.well-known/agent-card.json (legacy agent.json fallback), checked it against the A2A v1.0 AgentCard shape (frozen Mar 2026), and ran one probe. Result (a2a_census.json) 18 seeds crawled. Only 5 serve a conformant AgentCard; 13 serve no card (many return an HTML lander at the well-known path). Most on-chain-"live" agents do not publish a conformant A2A card. Capability-honesty axis — ONE deterministic probe I control: a JSON-RPC tasks/get with a random nonexistent id (read-only; asks the agent to do no real work, triggers no payment). Graded declared-vs-actual transport: TRANSPORT_HONEST — declares A2A JSON-RPC and answered with a well-formed JSON-RPC envelope (e.g. A-Identity Trust Oracle, Brain On BNB). TRANSPORT_MISMATCH — declares an A2A card but the transport did not answer JSON-RPC correctly (a real declared-vs-actual gap). Reported context (cited, not endorsed, not A2A-specific) Carnegie Mellon TheAgentCompany benchmark (arXiv:2412.14161, May 2025) reported the worst model (Llama-3.1-405b) failed 92.6% of real-world office tasks; the best (Gemini 2.5 Pro) still failed 70%. This is a general agent-task-completion benchmark, not an A2A-protocol measurement — cited to motivate measuring declared-vs-actual capability. https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.14161 Files a2a_census.jsonl — flat viewer table, one row per crawled seed (18): agent_name, domain, seed, card_state (CONFORMANT/NO_CARD), capability_honesty_verdict, skill_count, as_of. Field-presence lists live in a2a_census.json, not this table. a2a_census.json — per-seed card URL, conformance, field presence, honesty probe verdict. a2a_atoms.json — the unique conformant agents with their honesty verdict. ledger-card-a2a-agent-unsigned.json — the a2a.agent card-v0 atom (sig_ed25519=null — NO_LAPTOP_SIGN, queued for GHA OIDC signing). What this is not No real A2A task was sent — only one controlled protocol-level probe per agent. Skill execution correctness is unmeasured[]. Streaming/push actuals unmeasured. Not a GSPC axis.
