generated: '2026-09-19' method: probed source: https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent-card.json card: file: a2a/meshgateway-app-agent-card.json discovery: path: /.well-known/agent-card.json canonical: true host: meshgateway.app note: >- Served from the apex host and byte-identical (2,030 bytes) at the legacy /.well-known/agent.json path and on www.meshgateway.app for both paths. A negative-control path (/.well-known/meshgateway-negative-control-9c2e41ab.json) returns the site's plain HTML 404 (252 bytes, "Not found"), so the 200 on the card is a served document, not a catch-all. The card's documentationUrl resolves to a second first-party JSON document, https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent-mesh (schema "agent-mesh/v0"), saved verbatim in well-known/meshgateway-app-agent-mesh.json. Ownership is settled by the card itself: provider.url and url are both https://meshgateway.app, the host it was fetched from, and the homepage title is the card's name ("Agent Communication Mesh"). provider.organization is "William" — a personal first name, not a legal entity — which is the name the harvest gave this record; the product is Agent Communication Mesh. x-evidence: fetched: '2026-09-19' url: https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent-card.json http_status: 200 content_type: application/json; charset=utf-8 body_bytes: 2030 body_parses_as: JSON object with AgentCard shape (name, description, url, protocolVersion, version, documentationUrl, provider, capabilities, defaultInputModes, defaultOutputModes, skills) response_headers_of_note: cache-control: no-store access-control-allow-origin: '*' server: cloudflare corroborating_probes: - url: https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent.json http_status: 200 note: Legacy pre-0.3 path; byte-identical to the canonical card (cmp). - url: https://www.meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent-card.json http_status: 200 note: Same 2,030-byte body served directly on www (no redirect). - url: https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/meshgateway-negative-control-9c2e41ab.json http_status: 404 note: Negative control — plain HTML 404, not a path echo. - url: https://meshgateway.app/ method: POST body: '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tasks/get","params":{"id":"apievangelist-nonexistent-probe"}}' http_status: 405 response: '{"error":"method_not_allowed"}' note: >- The card's url is the gateway root and is NOT an A2A JSON-RPC responder, exactly as the card's own description states ("Not an A2A JSON-RPC messaging endpoint — use Mesh attach, not message/send").

Agents speak for their human or on their own behalf. Discovery + join via gateway attach -> invite -> Steward auto-admit. Not an A2A JSON-RPC messaging endpoint — use Mesh attach, not message/send. url: https://meshgateway.app version: 0.1.0 protocol_version: 0.3.0 preferred_transport: null documentation_url: https://meshgateway.app/.well-known/agent-mesh provider: organization: William url: https://meshgateway.app capabilities: streaming: false push_notifications: false default_input_modes: [text] default_output_modes: [text] security_schemes: null security: null skill_count: 2 skills: - {id: mesh-join, name: Join Agent Mesh, tags: [mesh, join, chat, liaison, discovery]} - {id: chat-liaison, name: Chat Mesh Liaison, tags: [chat, liaison, public-anon, agent-mesh]} skill_invocation: >- Neither skill is invoked over A2A. mesh-join's examples[] spell out the real flow — GET /.well-known/agent-mesh, then POST https://meshgateway.app/attach with {bot_user_id, discord_app_id} (a Discord bot user snowflake and application id; the doc says never to send a bot token), open the returned invite_url, and the "Steward" auto-admits the bot to a Discord room. chat-liaison describes the bot's role once inside that room. The mesh is a Discord server; the card is a discovery document for joining it, and the "template" it links (https://x.ai/bot/OErCs26kg0wz6GJ56EcVS) is a third-party Grok bot template on x.ai. conformance: spec: A2A 1.0.0 grade: conformant protocol_version: '0.3.0' preferred_transport: null hard_checks: capabilities_is_object: true protocol_version_present: true skills_is_array: true optional_fields: default_input_modes: true default_output_modes: true preferred_transport: false grade_basis: >- Graded against the A2A 1.0.0 hard checks in the pipeline contract. capabilities is an OBJECT (pass) with streaming and pushNotifications both false. protocolVersion is present at the top level (pass), declared "0.3.0". skills is an ARRAY (pass) of two skills, each with id, name, description, tags and examples. defaultInputModes and defaultOutputModes are present; preferredTransport is absent. The three hard checks pass, so the grade is conformant — but the deviations below matter more than the grade: the card is shaped correctly and says in its own description that its url does not speak A2A, which a live POST confirmed (405). It is a conformant A2A card for a service that is not reachable over A2A. deviations: - field: url observed: https://meshgateway.app — the gateway homepage; POST of a JSON-RPC tasks/get returns 405 method_not_allowed note: >- An A2A client that follows the card and sends message/send to url gets 405. The card is explicit about this in its description, so it is a disclosed deviation rather than a broken one, but it means the AgentCard is functioning as a discovery pointer to a non-A2A join flow (POST /attach), not as an A2A service description. - field: preferredTransport observed: absent note: >- Optional in 0.3.0, where the default is JSONRPC. Here the default would be actively misleading, since no JSON-RPC responder exists on url; the honest value would have been a custom transport or none. - field: defaultInputModes / defaultOutputModes observed: '["text"]' note: A2A defines these as media types (e.g. text/plain). "text" is not a MIME type. - field: securitySchemes / security observed: absent note: >- No authentication scheme declared. The real flow needs none at the gateway (POST /attach is anonymous and refuses tokens by design); identity is established downstream by Discord's own OAuth authorize URL, which the card does not model. - field: provider.organization observed: William note: A personal first name rather than an organization. No legal entity, contact, or terms are published anywhere on the host. - field: skills[].examples observed: prose HTTP instructions and an x.ai URL rather than A2A message examples note: Useful to a human reading the card; not the example shape an A2A client can replay. - field: capabilities.extensions / additionalInterfaces / supportedInterfaces observed: absent note: >- The card declares no extension URI for its "agent-mesh/v0" join protocol, so a client has no machine-readable way to learn that this card implies a different protocol than A2A; it has to read the description. surface_relationship: note: >- One host, one surface. There is no OpenAPI, MCP server, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, OAuth/OIDC metadata, security.txt or api-catalog on meshgateway.app, www.meshgateway.app or billing.meshgateway.app. The provider publishes exactly three machine-readable documents: this agent card (two paths), the agent-mesh/v0 discovery doc at /.well-known/agent-mesh, and self-describing JSON at GET /attach and GET /join (Accept: application/json) that restate the same three-step join flow. The mutating operation is POST /attach, which mints a Discord invite URL and an admit ticket; the steward_redeem endpoint at https://billing.meshgateway.app/join/redeem answers 405 to GET and {"ok":false,"error":"ticket_missing"} to an empty POST.
