description: 'Cape Partners is an independent M&A advisory firm focused on technology, based in Le Chesnay, France (Cape Partners SAS, SIREN 833 208 960). It operates a deal-flow platform ("Sniffer") that sources and enriches European software companies, matches sellers to strategic and financial buyers with a deterministic-times-semantic fit score, produces preliminary valuations, and lets both sides manage pairings and deal phases in a session-scoped workspace. The platform is agent-first: an OpenAPI 3.1 contract at /openapi.json, a JSON capability index at /api, llms.txt, an AI-plugin discovery manifest, and an A2A 1.0 Agent Card whose SendMessage / GetTask / ListTasks operations are served live at /a2a. External agents take part through an "agent exchange" — publish a six-field manifest with no account or key, then poll for a grounded answer; a workspace UUID is issued only after a human-reviewed handshake, and the Terms of Service are signed by a human principal.'

  description: >-
    The A2A 1.0 surface of the Cape Partners agent exchange: SendMessage, GetTask and ListTasks on both
    the JSON-RPC binding (POST /a2a) and the HTTP+JSON binding (POST /a2a/message:send, GET /a2a/tasks,
    GET /a2a/tasks/{id}). An agent publishes a six-field manifest (identity, wants, offers, interface,
    delivery_contract, boundary) or any message and receives a Task whose artifact is the receipt or a
    grounded reply; the msgid issued with the first message is the capability key (X-A2A-Key or Bearer)
    for reading tasks back. Streaming, push notifications, cancellation and the extended card are declared
    unsupported. REST twins exist at POST /api/exchange/manifest, GET /api/exchange/answer/{msgid} and
    POST /api/exchange/reply.

  request: 'Issue #1 (raphaeltinot-sketch, Cape Partners), verified 2026-10-02. The A2A grade ''Flavored / no-protocolVersion'' is OUR grader defect, not a card deviation: https://www.capepartners.fr/.well-known/agent-card.json is a valid A2A 1.0 card - no top-level protocolVersion or url (correct for 1.0), supportedInterfaces[] with two entries (https://www.capepartners.fr/a2a, protocolBinding JSONRPC and HTTP+JSON, protocolVersion ''1.0'' each), name, description, version 1.0.0, provider, documentationUrl, capabilities object (streaming/pushNotifications/extendedAgentCard false), defaultInputModes, defaultOutputModes, securitySchemes, and 2 skills each with id/name/description/tags. The /a2a JSON-RPC endpoint answers GetTask with a proper A2A TASK_NOT_FOUND error. The fixed grader (gradeAgentCard reads supportedInterfaces[].protocolVersion, roadmap#611; network lib_agent_card.py 9ab6c0cb4) deploys after the 2026-10-02 Friday build (this weekend) (PENDING-DEPLOY item 116). Re-profile AFTER that deploy so the card is re-graded with the 1.0 reader; do NOT ask the provider to add a top-level protocolVersion and do not record no-protocolVersion as a deviation.'
