Hey..I have a Master Orchestration Agent connected to multiple sub-agents and a self-hosted MCP server, and orchestration works correctly when triggered from the Archestra UI chat. However, when my external frontend tries to trigger orchestration via the /api/chat endpoint, Archestra returns errors like Unauthenticated, and falls back to frontend-side mock orchestration. As a result, no agent runs or MCP tool calls appear in Archestra logs. My goal is to trigger the Master Orchestration Agent programmatically from an external frontend and receive the real orchestration response. What is the correct way to initiate a new agent orchestration session via API so it runs fully inside Archestra so that i can have an orchestration first system rather than a chat based ui first system

hey 👋 what about if you just used the A2A connect details for your orchestrator agent?

if you go to the agents page and click the “plug” icon for your agent, you'll see A2A connection details, this should allow you to integrate with your external system
