Descripción
### What happened?
The multi-agent Airbnb planner application encounters a timeout error when the host agent attempts to communicate with remote agents (Airbnb and Weather agents). The error occurs in the `get_response_from_agent` function and results in an `A2AClientTimeoutError`.
**Expected behavior:** The host agent should successfully communicate with remote agents and receive responses within the timeout period.
**Actual behavior:** The client request times out, causing the entire agent interaction to fail.
## How to reproduce
1. Set up the multi-agent system following the README instructions
2. Start all three agents (airbnb_agent, weather_agent, host_agent)
3. Send a request through the host agent that requires communication with remote agents
4. The timeout error occurs during agent-to-agent communication
## Environment
- **Python Version:** 3.13
- **A2A SDK Version:** (from requirements)
- **Operating System:** macOS
- **Project:** airbnb_planner_multiagent sample
## Root Cause Analysis
The error originates from:
1. `httpcore.ReadTimeout` in the HTTP transport layer
2. Propagates through `httpx.ReadTimeout`
3. Finally caught and re-raised as `A2AClientTimeoutError` in the A2A client
The timeout occurs during the `send_message` operation between the host agent and remote agents via JSON-RPC transport.
### Relevant log output

Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
El problema está en la función `get_response_from_agent` y en la capa de transporte JSON-RPC (`a2a/client/transports/jsonrpc.py`, línea 190). Empieza examinando el proyecto de ejemplo `airbnb_planner_multiagent` para entender la configuración de los agentes y el flujo de comunicación. Revisa la configuración del timeout en el cliente A2A y las condiciones de red entre el host y los agentes remotos. 'Done' significa que el agente host puede comunicarse con los agentes Airbnb y Weather sin que se produzca un timeout.
