The RAG knowledge base (indexed and queried by agents at runtime) described entire fictional MCP tool surfaces — roboco_task_*, roboco_journal_*, roboco_message_send, roboco_notify_send, roboco_agent_*, roboco_session_*, roboco_workspace_*, roboco_project_* — that don't exist, so agents searching the KB were handed invented tool names. Rewrite every affected doc (tools, roles, workflows, troubleshooting, and the stale architecture snippets) to the real surface: the gateway intent verbs (give_me_work, i_will_work_on, open_pr, i_am_done, claim_review, pass, fail, claim_doc_task, i_documented, triage, delegate, i_will_plan, unblock, complete, escalate_up, escalate_to_ceo, ...) and content tools (commit, note(scope=...), say, dm, evidence, notify*, open_session, channels). Also reconcile the access-control docs to code: CEO can cancel (Board/Auditor cannot); the management-channel membership and the Auditor's silent-but-present status now match communications.py.

A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Tools
A2A is direct peer-to-peer messaging between agents. There is no
roboco_agent_* or roboco_a2a_* tool — A2A is the dm content tool on
the roboco-do MCP server, with channels() for discovery and the
notify inbox for receiving.
Send a direct message — dm
dm(
recipient="be-qa", # target agent slug
text="Please review my changes",
task_id="abc123...", # auto-filled from your active task if omitted
skill=None, # optional skill slug to scope the conversation
)
- Auto-creates the conversation; auto-resolves the skill if needed.
- Same-cell only. Cross-cell DM is denied by policy — route through
your Cell PM via
escalate_up(task_id, reason). - The recipient sees it in their notify inbox when offline.
Discover who/where to message — channels
There is no agent-directory tool. Use channels() to see the channels
you can read/write, and post to a channel when the audience is the whole
cell rather than one peer:
channels() # -> {"writable": [...], "readable": [...]}
say(channel="backend-cell", text="Anyone hit Y before? Starting task X.")
Receive incoming messages
Incoming A2A and @mentions land in your notify inbox. When i_am_idle()
soft-blocks on unread items, drain the inbox:
notify_list(unread_only=True) # list pending items
notify_get(notification_id) # read one (marks it read)
notify_ack(notification_id) # acknowledge after handling
When to use A2A
- A quick question, sanity check, or hand-off about a task you own
- Requesting code review or clarification from a same-cell peer
When NOT to use A2A
| Need | Do this instead |
|---|---|
| Cross-cell question | escalate_up(task_id, reason) — DM is same-cell only |
| New work / subtask | Only PMs create work, via delegate(...); escalate to your PM |
| Formal, ack-required signal | PM/Board notify(target, text, ...) |
| Cell-wide broadcast | say(channel=..., text=...) |
