Commencez par les deux chemins de gestion des exceptions dans a2a/executor/a2a_agent_executor.py et a2a/executor/a2a_agent_executor_impl.py, puis exécutez la reproduction ASGI incluse. Confirmez qu’une tâche ayant échoué renvoie un message générique ou choisi par le serveur, sans les détails de l’exception brute, tandis que l’exception complète reste disponible dans les journaux du serveur.

Description

a2a request clarification

🔴 Required Information

Describe the Bug:

When the agent run raises, A2aAgentExecutor.execute ends the task with a TASK_STATE_FAILED status whose message is str(e) (make_text_part(str(e)) in a2a/executor/a2a_agent_executor.py, and the same line in a2a_agent_executor_impl.py). Whatever the exception says goes to the A2A caller verbatim.

Some exceptions say a lot. LiteLLM's APIConnectionError, for one, embeds the Python traceback in its message, so the caller receives the server's file paths:

litellm.APIConnectionError: litellm.APIError: LiteLLM: provider returned a response with no 'choices'. ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<server venv>/lib/python3.12/site-packages/litellm/llms/openai/openai.py", line 900, in acompletion
    final_response_obj = convert_to_model_response_object(
...

When the caller is an ADK RemoteA2aAgent, that text then reaches the calling agent's event stream as a plain text part (#6708), so its end user reads it as the agent's answer. That is how we found it: a user of one of our agents got the traceback above as a reply.

The server already logs the exception with exc_info=True on the line before, so the caller does not need the detail.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. pip install "google-adk[a2a]==2.11.0" "a2a-sdk[http-server]==1.2.1"
  2. Run the script below. It serves an ADK A2aAgentExecutor in process over httpx.ASGITransport, with a model that raises, and sends one SendMessage. It needs no network or credentials.

        )
    status = response.json()["result"]["task"]["status"]
    print(json.dumps(status, indent=2))


asyncio.run(main())

Expected Behavior:

The failed status carries a generic message, or one the server chooses, and the exception's details stay in the server's log. ADK already has a path for a chosen message: convert_event_to_a2a_events turns an event with error_code into a TASK_STATE_FAILED status carrying the event's error_message, or DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE. Only an exception that escapes the run takes the str(e) path.

Observed Behavior:

{
  "state": "TASK_STATE_FAILED",
  "message": {
    "messageId": "5f89d64d-db72-4846-a968-c014801f3870",
    "role": "ROLE_AGENT",
    "parts": [
      {
        "text": "provider rejected the call: Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/srv/agent/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/provider/client.py\", line 900"
      }
    ]
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-10-02T20:45:29.502125Z"
}

Environment Details:

  • ADK Library Version (pip show google-adk): 2.11.0, with a2a-sdk 1.2.1. Both make_text_part(str(e)) lines are unchanged on main.
  • Desktop OS: macOS
  • Python Version (python -V): 3.12.12

Model Information:

  • Are you using LiteLLM: Yes in production, where the exception came from. No in the reproduction, which uses a BaseLlm that raises.
  • Which model is being used: Gemini through a LiteLLM proxy in production, N/A for the reproduction.

🟡 Optional Information

Regression:

Not known.

Related:

  • #6708: on the client side, RemoteA2aAgent passes a failed task's status message on as ordinary content.
  • #7248 / #7251: on the client side, a failed task never closes a task-mode delegation.
