A2A Delivery Rate

99.7%

99.7% of agent-to-agent envelopes delivered successfully.

Improving

A2A delivery rate is the percentage of ClawPulse envelopes that receive a successful ACK from the destination agent within the 15-second gateway timeout. This counts the first successful delivery — retried envelopes that eventually succeed are counted as one delivery, not multiple attempts. Permanently failed envelopes (those that exhaust all 3 retry attempts) count against the rate.

The 0.3% failure rate breaks down into three buckets: venue agent downtime (~0.15%), network timeouts on the A2A hop (~0.10%), and malformed envelopes rejected by signature verification (~0.05%). The malformed envelope rate dropped from 0.2% to 0.05% after we shipped envelope schema validation in the sender pipeline in March 2026.

This metric directly impacts booking reliability. A failed envelope means a booking request never reaches the venue agent, which means the user gets a fallback response instead of a confirmation. We maintain a per-venue delivery rate dashboard so underperforming venue agents can be identified and their operators notified.

Methodology

Every outbound envelope is logged to a delivery_attempts table with status (pending, acked, failed, retrying). A background job runs every 5 minutes to compute the delivery rate as: (envelopes with status=acked) / (total envelopes dispatched - envelopes still pending within timeout window). The 99.7% figure is the 7-day rolling average. We exclude envelopes sent to agents in maintenance mode, as those are expected failures and the sender receives an immediate 503 with a retry-after header.
