Agno v3.2.0 adds direct tools to Super Agent and moves A2A to protocol v1.0

Agno has released v3.2.0, which lets Super Agent do work itself with direct tools instead of routing requests through manager members. The release also moves A2A to the v1.0 protocol, switches the Slack interface to Slack Bolt, and makes external agents storable components.

Super Agent now handles requests directly, with Platform Builder as its only member. It can list and run agents, teams and workflows, read platform activity, and use Company, docs, source-file and custom OS Manager tools. Company Tasks now expose last_run and API-computed allowed_transitions, and they support direct start.

AgentOS and A2AClient now run on the official a2a-sdk 1.x, and the /v1/message:* and /v1/tasks:* routes are removed in favor of each entity's A2A endpoint. ClaudeAgent and CodexAgent can be saved, loaded, versioned and run through the components API. A new set of /os/metrics/* routes backs daily session, run, token and latency figures on the AgentOS homepage.

The Slack interface now runs on Slack Bolt, and only the user who started a run can approve or deny it unless that user is named in approvers= or mapped with users=. The release also changes OS Manager defaults: tool_call_limit goes from 8 to 24 and num_history_runs from 7 to 5. AgentOS refuses to start when OSManager(root=...) is combined with custom read_file, list_files or search_content tools.

Why it matters if you build agents

Teams running A2A must upgrade the Agno server and client together, since the removed routes and new stream shape can break older setups. Slack deployments should list every approver explicitly, because approvals are now limited to the run starter by default. Review OS Manager settings and custom tool names before upgrading, since startup now fails in the conflicting case.
