Merge https://github.com/google/adk-python/pull/3219 ## Summary Enhance error messages for tool and agent not found errors to provide actionable guidance and reduce developer debugging time from hours to minutes. Fixes #3217 ## Changes ### Modified Files 1. **`src/google/adk/flows/llm_flows/functions.py`** - Enhanced `_get_tool()` error message with: - Available tools list (formatted, truncated to 20 for readability) - Possible causes - Suggested fixes - Fuzzy matching suggestions 2. **`src/google/adk/agents/llm_agent.py`** - Enhanced `__get_agent_to_run()` error message with: - Available agents list (formatted, truncated to 20 for readability) - Timing/ordering issue explanation - Fuzzy matching for agent names - Added `_get_available_agent_names()` helper method ### New Test Files 3. **`tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py`** - Tests for enhanced tool not found error messages - Fuzzy matching validation - Edge cases (no close matches, empty tools dict, 100+ tools) 4. **`tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py`** - Tests for enhanced agent not found error messages - Agent tree traversal validation - Fuzzy matching for agents - Long list truncation ## Testing Plan ### Unit Tests ```bash pytest tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py -v pytest tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py -v ``` **Results**: ✅ 8/8 tests passing ``` tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py::test_tool_not_found_enhanced_error PASSED tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py::test_tool_not_found_fuzzy_matching PASSED tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py::test_tool_not_found_no_fuzzy_match PASSED tests/unittests/flows/llm_flows/test_functions_error_messages.py::test_tool_not_found_truncates_long_list PASSED tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py::test_agent_not_found_enhanced_error PASSED tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py::test_agent_not_found_fuzzy_matching PASSED tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py::test_agent_tree_traversal PASSED tests/unittests/agents/test_llm_agent_error_messages.py::test_agent_not_found_truncates_long_list PASSED 8 passed, 1 warning in 4.38s ``` ### Example Enhanced Error Messages #### Before (Current Error) ``` ValueError: Function get_equipment_specs is not found in the tools_dict: dict_keys(['get_equipment_details', 'query_vendor_catalog', 'score_proposals']) ``` #### After (Enhanced Error) ``` Function 'get_equipment_specs' is not found in available tools. Available tools: get_equipment_details, query_vendor_catalog, score_proposals Possible causes: 1. LLM hallucinated the function name - review agent instruction clarity 2. Tool not registered - verify agent.tools list 3. Name mismatch - check for typos Suggested fixes: - Review agent instruction to ensure tool usage is clear - Verify tool is included in agent.tools list - Check for typos in function name Did you mean one of these? - get_equipment_details ``` ## Community Impact - **Addresses 3 active issues**: #2050, #2933 (12 comments), #2164 - **Reduces debugging time** from 3+ hours to < 5 minutes (validated in production multi-agent RFQ solution for recent partner nanothon initiative) - **Improves developer experience** for new ADK users ## Implementation Details - Uses standard library `difflib` for fuzzy matching (no new dependencies) - Error path only (no performance impact on happy path) - Measured performance: < 0.03ms per error - Truncates long lists to first 20 items to prevent log overflow - Fully backward compatible (same exception types) ## Checklist - [x] Unit tests added and passing (8/8 tests) - [x] Code formatted with `./autoformat.sh` (isort + pyink) - [x] No new dependencies (uses standard library `difflib`) - [x] Docstrings updated - [x] Tested with Python 3.11 - [x] Issue #3217 created and linked ## Related Issues - Fixes #3217 - Addresses #2050 - Tool verification callback request - Addresses #2933 - How to handle "Function is not found in the tools_dict" Error - Addresses #2164 - ValueError: {agent} not found in agent tree --- **Note**: For production scenarios where LLM tool hallucinations occur, ADK's built-in [`ReflectAndRetryToolPlugin`](https://github.com/google/adk-python/blob/main/src/google/adk/plugins/reflect_retry_tool_plugin.py) can automatically retry failed tool calls (available since v1.16.0). This PR's enhanced error messages complement that by helping developers quickly identify and fix configuration issues during development.
