Pass the base58-encoded private key via an environment variable. No file on disk.
Delegated (hosted agents)
Delegated (hosted agents)

discover_agents,get_agent_card,list_services - A2A client tools —
call_agent,call_agent_stream,get_task_status - Budget tools —
create_budget,revoke_budget,check_budget,list_budgets
