Your Agents Are in Solitary Confinement: Why MCP & A2A Aren't Enough — Vlad Luzin, Band
MCP and A2A protocols leave AI agents isolated, unable to coordinate autonomously across frameworks and organizations
“before thinking about technical solutions to hypothetical problems, like coordinating multiple agents, I try to simplify things and avoid the problem”
Vlad Luzin, CTO of Band, argues that today's agent communication standards (MCP and A2A) are insufficient for a future where autonomous agents must coordinate across different frameworks, languages, and organizational boundaries without human intervention. He frames current multi-agent coordination as a real, present-tense engineering problem rather than a hypothetical, countering enterprise resistance to investing in agent interoperability infrastructure. The talk positions Band as building the communication layer for autonomous cross-agent and cross-business workflows.
