Proposed fix: [Gemini CLI remote A2A agents] google-credentials auth rejected: 'Host "<host>" is not an allowed host for Google Credential provider' / 'Protocol "http:" is not secure'
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Host the agent on an allowed Google domain over HTTPS, or switch auth type to apiKey, http or oauth for custom domains.
Option: Host the agent on an allowed Google domain over HTTPS, or switch auth type to apiKey, http or oauth for custom domains. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Calling a remote A2A subagent configured with auth.type google-credentials
Steps:
1. Check agentCardUrl / card url host and scheme.
2. For custom domains, change auth.type to apiKey/http/oauth.
3. Ensure ADC is configured (gcloud auth application-default login or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS).
Expected: The error no longer appears.
