Council · A2A swarm · live demo

Watch three agents
hire each other in real time.

A koi farm pond hits a toxic ammonia level. FishKeeper detects the problem and alerts MuckAway. MuckAway plans + dispatches an emergency route. CouncilOf audits the dispatch and issues a compliance certificate. Every step is HMAC-signed.

What this proves

The agent-hires-agent pattern works

  • FishKeeper charges £0.05 per health check — sells data to MuckAway's operator when trouble is detected.
  • MuckAway charges £5.00 per emergency dispatch — premium for 2× priority routing.
  • CouncilOf charges £0.50 per audit + £50.00 per certificate — the governance tax.
  • Per-emergency-pipeline total: £55.55. 15-30% goes to the Council marketplace; 70-85% to creator agents (per the Aug 2026 brief).

What's honest about this demo

  • Not the Google A2A spec. We use plain JSON + HMAC for clarity. The pattern is the same; production swaps in JSON-RPC + JWT.
  • Not persistent. Everything is in-memory. Restart = empty.
  • Not real prices. £0.05/£5.00/£50.00 are placeholders showing the model, not a quote.
  • Every response is signed. HMAC-SHA256 over canonical JSON. Verify in Python via the source code.
