BigPanda Agents API (MCP & A2A)

The three agent-facing endpoints: the MCP server, the A2A JSON-RPC endpoint and the agent-card retrieval operation.

Operations 3

GET /.well-known/agent-card.json?assistant_id=biggy-agent Retrieve the agent card #
POST /mcp Use Biggy action plans via a remote MCP #
POST /a2a/biggy-agent Use the A2A protocol #

Work with this as data

Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.

        \ need to be retried.\n\n## Methods\n\nAll interactions use JSON-RPC 2.0 over the single `/a2a/biggy-agent` endpoint.\
        \ The `method` field determines the operation.\n\nThe following methods are available:\n\n| Method           | Description\
        \                                                                     |\n| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
        \ |\n| `message/send`   | Send a message and receive the full response synchronously                      |\n| `message/stream`\
        \ | Send a message and stream the response as server-sent events (SSE).             |\n| `tasks/get`      | Poll the\
        \ status and result of a previous task                                   |        \n\n## Message format\n\nMessages\
        \ are composed of parts. Currently only `text` parts are supported.\n\n| Field                          | Type   |\
        \ Required | Description                          |\n| ------------------------------ | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------\
        \ |\n| `params.message.parts`         | array  | Yes      | Array of message parts               |\n| `params.message.parts[].kind`\
        \  | string | Yes      | Must be `\"text\"`                     |\n| `params.message.parts[].text`  | string | Yes\
        \      | The text content                     |\n| `params.thread.threadId`       | string | No       | Thread ID\
        \ to continue a conversation |\n\n## Threading\n\nA2A supports multi-turn conversations via threads.\n\n- **New conversation**:\
        \ Omit `thread` or pass `\"threadId\": \"\"`. The response will include a generated `threadId`.\n- **Continue conversation**:\
        \ Pass the `threadId` from a previous response to carry forward conversation history.\n- **Thread IDs**: Alphanumeric,\
        \ hyphens, and underscores only. Max 128 characters.\n\nThe server retains up to 100 messages per thread.\n\n### Message\
        \ and thread limits\n\n| Constraint             | Value             |\n| ---------------------- | -----------------\
        \ |\n| Max message parts      | 10                |\n| Max text per part      | 5,000 characters  |\n| Max total query\
        \ length | 20,000 characters |\n| Max thread ID length   | 128 characters    |        \n\n## Error response format\n\
        \nErrors are returned as JSON-RPC error objects, not HTTP status codes (the HTTP status is always 200 for JSON-RPC\
        \ responses).\n\n| Code   | Description                                          |\n| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------\
        \ |\n| -32600 | Invalid request (missing or wrong `jsonrpc` version) |\n| -32601 | Method not found (unsupported `method`\
        \ value)        |\n| -32602 | Invalid params (validation failure, bad input)       |\n| -32000 | Server error (unexpected\
        \ internal failure)           |\n\n## message/send (synchronous) example\n\nSends a message to the agent and blocks\
        \ until the full response is ready.\n\n**Request**\n\n```bash\ncurl -sS -X POST \"https://api.biggy.io/a2a/biggy-agent\"\

        \ (SSE) example\n\nSends a message and streams the response as server-sent (SSE) Events. This method is useful for\

        \ }]\n      },\n      \"thread\": { \"threadId\": \"\" }\n    }\n  }'\n```\n\n#### SSE Events\n\nThe response is a\
        \ `text/event-stream` with the following event types:\n\n| Event   | Description                                 \
