Merge https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/1629 close https://github.com/google/adk-python/issues/2170 ### Summary This PR introduces `GkeCodeExecutor`, a new code executor that provides a secure and scalable method for running LLM-generated code by leveraging GKE Sandbox. It serves as a robust alternative to local or standard containerized executors by leveraging the **GKE Sandbox** environment, which uses gVisor for workload isolation. For each code execution request, it dynamically creates an ephemeral Kubernetes Job with a hardened Pod configuration, offering significant security benefits and ensuring that each code execution runs in a clean, isolated environment. ### Key Features of GkeCodeExecutor * **Dynamic Job Creation**: Uses the Kubernetes `batch/v1` API to create a new Job for each code snippet. * **Secure Code Mounting**: Injects code into the Pod via a temporary `ConfigMap`, which is mounted to a read-only file. * **gVisor Sandboxing**: Enforces execution within a `gvisor` runtime for kernel-level isolation. * **Hardened Security Context**: Pods run as non-root with all Linux capabilities dropped and a read-only root filesystem. * **Resource Management**: Applies configurable CPU and memory limits to prevent abuse. * **Automatic Cleanup**: Uses the `ttl_seconds_after_finished` feature on Jobs for robust, automatic garbage collection of completed Pods and Jobs. * **Node Scheduling**: The executor uses Kubernetes `tolerations` in its Pod specification. This allows the k8s scheduler to place the execution Pod onto a **_pre-configured_** gVisor-enabled node. * **Module Integration**: The `GkeCodeExecutor` is registered in the `code_executors/__init__.py`, making it available for use by agents. The `ImportError` handling is configured to check for the required `kubernetes` SDK. ### Execution Flow: 1. Agent invokes `GkeCodeExecutor` with the LLM-generated code. 2. The `GkeCodeExecutor` will `execute_code` – creates a temporary `ConfigMap`, and then create a k8s `Job` to run it. 3. This Job runs a standard `python:3.11-slim` container. The image is pulled once to the node and cached. The Job will mount the ConfigMap as `/app/code.py` 4. The GkeCodeExecutor will monitor the Job to completion, fetch `stdout/stderr` logs from the container, return `CodeExecutionResult` to the LlmAgent, and ensure all temp resources are deleted. 5. The calling agent formats the result and provides a final response to the user. If the result contains error, it will retry up to `error_retry_attempts` times. PiperOrigin-RevId: 804511467
Agent Development Kit (ADK)
<html>An open-source, code-first Python toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control.
Important Links: Docs, Samples, Java ADK & ADK Web.
</html>Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a flexible and modular framework for developing and deploying AI agents. While optimized for Gemini and the Google ecosystem, ADK is model-agnostic, deployment-agnostic, and is built for compatibility with other frameworks. ADK was designed to make agent development feel more like software development, to make it easier for developers to create, deploy, and orchestrate agentic architectures that range from simple tasks to complex workflows.
✨ What's new
- Agent Config: Build agents without code. Check out the Agent Config feature.
✨ Key Features
-
Rich Tool Ecosystem: Utilize pre-built tools, custom functions, OpenAPI specs, 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.
-
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.
🤖 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.
🚀 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.

🏁 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-2.0-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 works together to accomplish the task.
from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent, BaseAgent
# Define individual agents
greeter = LlmAgent(name="greeter", model="gemini-2.0-flash", ...)
task_executor = LlmAgent(name="task_executor", model="gemini-2.0-flash", ...)
# Create parent agent and assign children via sub_agents
coordinator = LlmAgent(
name="Coordinator",
model="gemini-2.0-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).

Vibe Coding
If you are 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.
