Together, these advancements deliver the most robust and secure foundation yet for building and scaling AI-powered workflows across modern enterprise systems—without compromising on security, interoperability, or trust. They aren’t just designed for innovation; they’re built for real-world scalability, with control and governance at their core.
“At Airia, we’re building the connective tissue of enterprise AI. We believe the future of enterprise software lies in collaborative AI ecosystems, powered by secure, interoperable agents,” said Kevin Kiley, President of Airia. “With enhanced A2A capabilities and new tools to establish trust in MCP, we’re not just solving integration and compliance challenges—we’re laying the foundation for a new era of multi-agent SaaS. A2A protocol is a critical step toward universal agent interoperability, and Airia is proud to help bring that standard to life for real-world enterprise use.”
Enabling Seamless Agent Collaboration with A2A
Airia now provides robust, end-to-end support for A2A-compatible agents, enabling AI agents to securely communicate, coordinate actions, and share data across application and organizational boundaries—without the heavy configuration or prework required by other platforms.
Key features include:
- Agent Card Discovery & Import: Users can discover, save, and reuse A2A agent “cards” directly within Airia, eliminating the need for manual configuration or custom connectors.
- Drag-and-Drop Integration: A2A-compatible agents can be easily added as steps within low-code/no-code workflows, to orchestrate multi-agent systems that include first- and third-party agents.
Backed by an open standard co-developed by more than 50 tech leaders—including Google, Atlassian, Box, LangChain, SAP, Salesforce, and Workday—A2A empowers technical teams to eliminate integration silos, reduce custom connector overhead, and accelerate prototyping and deployment cycles.

Enterprise Security and Governance Capabilities for Agent-to-Tool Interactions via MCP
Airia’s new enterprise-grade security & governance capabilities for MCP address the critical governance gaps that have limited MCP adoption in regulated environments.
Key capabilities include:
- Ephemeral Sandboxed Containers: Each request is run in an isolated, short-lived container with zero data retention, ensuring credentials and sensitive content are never stored—preventing credential or data leakage.
- Change Detection & Tool Authorization: Administrators can subscribe to MCP server change events, enforce tool-level authorization, and lock down tool definitions at runtime to prevent tool poisoning or prompt injection.
- Tool Version Comparison: A side-by-side view that highlights differences between tools provided by the MCP server, making it easy to spot changes like new additions, altered descriptions, or deprecated tools.
- Tool Response Validation: Apply guardrails to tool responses to detect indirect prompt injection attempts.
Built for Builders, Trusted by Enterprises
These innovations deliver immediate value across the enterprise, empowering technical teams to rapidly build and deploy interoperable agents with secure, reusable components via A2A, while giving IT and security leaders the governance controls they need to confidently integrate AI into core infrastructure through MCP.
