AWS, in collaboration with the author, introduces agentic overlays—a thin wrapper that turns traditional REST services into intelligent agents capable of A2A interactions, while exposing REST APIs as MCP-compatible tools. This approach allows enterprises to add A2A capabilities without rewriting business logic, duplicating code, or running parallel infrastructure. By reusing existing services as agents, it reduces agent proliferation in infrastructure. The post includes reference architecture and sample code.
