Description
### 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.

Le problème se situe dans la fonction `get_response_from_agent` et dans la couche de transport JSON-RPC (`a2a/client/transports/jsonrpc.py`, ligne 190). Commencez par examiner le projet d’exemple `airbnb_planner_multiagent` afin de comprendre la configuration des agents et le flux de communication. Examinez la configuration du timeout dans le client A2A et les conditions réseau entre l’hôte et les agents distants. 'Done' signifie que l’agent hôte peut communiquer avec les agents Airbnb et Weather sans subir de timeout.
