Merge https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/4648 **Please ensure you have read the [contribution guide](https://github.com/google/adk-python/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) before creating a pull request.** ### Link to Issue or Description of Change **1. Link to an existing issue (if applicable):** - Closes: #4647 - Related: #3429, #3430 **2. Or, if no issue exists, describe the change:** **Problem:** `AgentLoader.list_agents()` returns every non-hidden subdirectory in the agents directory, regardless of whether it contains a valid agent definition. This causes non-agent directories (e.g. `tmp/`, `data/`, `utils/`) to appear in the `/list-apps` API response. This affects both the ADK web UI agent selector and any production deployment depending on this API. **Solution:** Reuse the existing `_determine_agent_language()` method inside `list_agents()` to verify each candidate directory contains at least one recognized agent file (`root_agent.yaml`, `agent.py`, or `__init__.py`). Directories that fail this check are excluded from the result. This avoids introducing any new methods or abstractions and keeps the check lightweight (filesystem only, no agent imports). ### Testing Plan **Unit Tests:** - [x] I have added or updated unit tests for my change. - [x] All unit tests pass locally. 27 passed in 2.85s: pytest tests/unittests/cli/utils/test_agent_loader.py -v ======================= 27 passed, 14 warnings in 2.85s ======================== Added `test_list_agents_excludes_non_agent_directories` which creates a temp directory with three valid agent types (package with `__init__.py`, module with `agent.py`, YAML with `root_agent.yaml`) and three non-agent directories, and asserts only the valid agents are listed. **Screenshots / Video:** | Before (non-agent directories listed) | After (only valid agents listed) | |----------------------------------------|----------------------------------| |<img width="566" height="553" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0f50084b-319f-480e-8d8a-051c28d4a7e7" />|<img width="567" height="532" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/52d3543f-4c4c-4ff3-a6dd-7d5ce3f19bb2" />| **Manual End-to-End (E2E) Tests:** 1. Create a project directory containing both valid agent subdirectories and non-agent subdirectories 2. Run `adk web .` 3. Open the web UI and verify only valid agents appear in the agent selector 4. See screenshots below for before/after comparison ### Checklist - [x] I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/google/adk-python/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) document. - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code. - [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas. - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works. - [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes. - [x] I have manually tested my changes end-to-end. - [ ] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules. ### Additional context COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW=https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/4648 from markadelnawar:fix/list-agents-filter-non-agents-dirs 041895610fa0c52f2bf3cf7ba0d072a5c580c1b6 PiperOrigin-RevId: 878674609
Agent Development Kit (ADK)
An open-source, code-first Python framework for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control.
Important Links: Docs, Samples, Java ADK, Go ADK & ADK Web.
</html>Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a flexible and modular framework that applies software development principles to AI agent creation. It is designed to simplify building, deploying, and orchestrating agent workflows, from simple tasks to complex systems. While optimized for Gemini, ADK is model-agnostic, deployment-agnostic, and compatible with other frameworks.
π₯ What's new
-
Custom Service Registration: Add a service registry to provide a generic way to register custom service implementations to be used in FastAPI server. See short instruction. (391628f)
-
Rewind: Add the ability to rewind a session to before a previous invocation (9dce06f).
-
New CodeExecutor: Introduces a new AgentEngineSandboxCodeExecutor class that supports executing agent-generated code using the Vertex AI Code Execution Sandbox API (ee39a89)
β¨ Key Features
-
Rich Tool Ecosystem: Utilize pre-built tools, custom functions, OpenAPI specs, MCP tools or integrate existing tools to give agents diverse capabilities, all for tight integration with the Google ecosystem.
-
Code-First Development: Define agent logic, tools, and orchestration directly in Python for ultimate flexibility, testability, and versioning.
-
Agent Config: Build agents without code. Check out the Agent Config feature.
-
Tool Confirmation: A tool confirmation flow(HITL) that can guard tool execution with explicit confirmation and custom input.
-
Modular Multi-Agent Systems: Design scalable applications by composing multiple specialized agents into flexible hierarchies.
-
Deploy Anywhere: Easily containerize and deploy agents on Cloud Run or scale seamlessly with Vertex AI Agent Engine.
π Installation
Stable Release (Recommended)
You can install the latest stable version of ADK using pip:
pip install google-adk
The release cadence is roughly bi-weekly.
This version is recommended for most users as it represents the most recent official release.
Development Version
Bug fixes and new features are merged into the main branch on GitHub first. If you need access to changes that haven't been included in an official PyPI release yet, you can install directly from the main branch:
pip install git+https://github.com/google/adk-python.git@main
Note: The development version is built directly from the latest code commits. While it includes the newest fixes and features, it may also contain experimental changes or bugs not present in the stable release. Use it primarily for testing upcoming changes or accessing critical fixes before they are officially released.
π€ Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol and ADK Integration
For remote agent-to-agent communication, ADK integrates with the A2A protocol. See this example for how they can work together.
π Documentation

π Feature Highlight
Define a single agent:
from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.tools import google_search
root_agent = Agent(
name="search_assistant",
model="gemini-2.5-flash", # Or your preferred Gemini model
instruction="You are a helpful assistant. Answer user questions using Google Search when needed.",
description="An assistant that can search the web.",
tools=[google_search]
)
Define a multi-agent system:
Define a multi-agent system with coordinator agent, greeter agent, and task execution agent. Then ADK engine and the model will guide the agents to work together to accomplish the task.
from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent, BaseAgent
# Define individual agents
greeter = LlmAgent(name="greeter", model="gemini-2.5-flash", ...)
task_executor = LlmAgent(name="task_executor", model="gemini-2.5-flash", ...)
# Create parent agent and assign children via sub_agents
coordinator = LlmAgent(
name="Coordinator",
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
description="I coordinate greetings and tasks.",
sub_agents=[ # Assign sub_agents here
greeter,
task_executor
]
)
Development UI
A built-in development UI to help you test, evaluate, debug, and showcase your agent(s).
Evaluate Agents
adk eval \
samples_for_testing/hello_world \
samples_for_testing/hello_world/hello_world_eval_set_001.evalset.json
π€ Contributing
We welcome contributions from the community! Whether it's bug reports, feature requests, documentation improvements, or code contributions, please see our
- General contribution guideline and flow.
- Then if you want to contribute code, please read Code Contributing Guidelines to get started.
Community Repo
We have adk-python-community repo that is home to a growing ecosystem of community-contributed tools, third-party service integrations, and deployment scripts that extend the core capabilities of the ADK.
Vibe Coding
If you want to develop agent via vibe coding the llms.txt and the llms-full.txt can be used as context to LLM. While the former one is a summarized one and the later one has the full information in case your LLM has big enough context window.
Community Events
- [Completed] ADK's 1st community meeting on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. Remember to join our group to get access to the recording, and deck.
