At a glance

Sends tasks, inspects skill execution history, and tests OmniRoute's JSON-RPC 2.0 agent-to-agent server from the command line.

  • Starting or checking the status of OmniRoute's A2A server
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick install and Subcommands
  • Calls npm
  • Invoking a specific skill over the A2A protocol and watching its result

What it does

The omniroute CLI's a2a subcommands are covered here: starting the A2A server, checking its status and printing its Agent Card, listing the skills it exposes, invoking one with JSON input from an argument or file, and watching or streaming a running task to completion. Task-management commands let you list recent tasks by status or skill, fetch one by id, cancel it, or tail its logs.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting or checking the status of OmniRoute's A2A server
  • Invoking a specific skill over the A2A protocol and watching its result
  • Listing or cancelling in-flight A2A tasks

Example prompts

  • “Show the current OmniRoute A2A server status as JSON.”
  • “Invoke the summarize skill over A2A with this input file.”
  • “Cancel A2A task 4821 and confirm it stopped.”

Requirements

  • OmniRoute CLI (`npm install -g omniroute`)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ad6b1c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

OmniRoute A2A CLI loads about 423 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~423

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
