A2A and MCP are making it easier for AI agents built by different providers to communicate and share tools. But agent interoperability doesn't solve the harder data problem. This article explores why proprietary data platforms, duplicated pipelines, fragmented permissions, and multi-agent access controls could limit enterprise AI flexibility even as open protocols make the agent layer more portable.
