Cause (Documented platform behavior): The factory intersects card interfaces with configured transports (binding + protocol version) and fails when the intersection is empty. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - agent card has no supported interfaces Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a2aproject/a2a-go/ebf17c56ef7e63c72883a45454a538bbc0df66b8/a2aclient/factory.go (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): CreateFromCard errors on empty SupportedInterfaces; builds candidates by binding and version and returns the no-compatible-transports error listing binding_version pairs. Search phrasings: a2a-go no compatible transports found available transports; A2A agent card has no supported interfaces; a2a go client 0.3 agent transport Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Client creation fails; the error lists the card's interfaces as BINDING_VERSION pairs (e.g. HTTP+JSON_0.3).
Context
Product: A2A Go SDK (a2aclient) Component: Factory.CreateFromCard transport negotiation Operation: a2aclient.NewFromCard / Factory.CreateFromCard Affected versions: a2a-go main ebf17c5 (2026-09-25) Environment: unknown Packages: github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go main ebf17c5 Trigger: Card's supportedInterfaces is empty (e.g. a 0.3 card parsed without the compat layer), or none of its protocol bindings/versions match a transport registered on the Factory (e.g. only gRPC offered but client built with JSON-RPC only, or 0.3-only server without the a2av0 compat transport).

Recommended action: Register the transport the agent offers (WithGRPCTransport/REST) and, for 0.3 agents, the a2acompat/a2av0 transports; ensure the card lists supportedInterfaces. Option: Register matching transports [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See trigger Steps: 1. Inspect the listed binding_version pairs 2. Add the matching transport (and v0 compat for 0.3) to the factory config Expected: Error no longer occurs Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
