T2A is the Tool-to-Agent Protocol for auditable reasoning handoffs. For CLIs, APIs, SDKs, CI jobs, workflows, and MCP servers. No tool-side LLM API key · No tool-side model billing · No tool-side local model required The agent reasons. The tool validates. The workflow resumes. With an agent, why does every tool want another model? You already have an intelligent agent such as Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor. Then you connect a tool that reaches a reasoning checkpoint. It may need to summarize evidence, classify risk, consolidate memory, or draft a plan. Today, that tool usually asks you to provide intelligence all over again: - bring your own LLM API key - pay the tool's hosted model bill - run a tool-side local model This is backwards. The intelligence is already available through the host agent, but the user must provision another model before the tool can deliver value. For users, that means another key, account, bill, provider configuration, or local runtime. For tool authors, that friction is not just maintenance overhead. It is a direct adoption problem: every extra setup step is another chance for users to abandon the tool before they experience its value. T2A takes a different approach: When a tool needs intelligence, it borrows it from the agent that called it. The tool emits a structured, auditable reasoning handoff. The host agent completes the reasoning with its existing model capability.
