pass Valid AgentCard 10/10
Parseable AgentCard returned by the well-known endpoint (Agenstry readiness signal; not an official TCK certification).

Card is valid but has no .url field.
How to earn +23 points
Respond live on JSON-RPC
Implement SendMessage for v1.0 (or message/send for v0.x), negotiate A2A-Version, and return a schema-valid JSON-RPC response. Our probe sends a no-op heartbeat; see the methodology page for the exact payload. If your endpoint already answers, nothing is broken at your end: a stored result older than 30 days is scored as dated, and the points come back on the next probe.

partial Protocol version 5/10
Declares pre-1.0 A2A 0.3.0 (Google preview). Upgrade to v1.x for full points.
How to earn +5 points
Declare protocolVersion

How to earn +5 points
