Google Agents CLI
Google's official tool that teaches your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI) to build agents with ADK, Google's Python agent framework. Seven skills cover the whole cycle: framing the work, ADK code, project creation, evaluation, deployment, publishing to Gemini Enterprise and observability. Deployment targets Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE, so Google Cloud. Apache-2.0 licence, and the command line also works on its own, without a coding agent.
Strengths
- Evaluation shipped by default: generation, grading, comparing two results and failure analysis
- Works with your current coding agent, and the command line stays usable on its own
- Local development possible without a Google Cloud account, with an AI Studio key
Limitations
- Deployment only on Google Cloud: Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE
- Tied to ADK in Python: your agent is written in Google's framework, not yours
- Three prerequisites to install before starting: Python 3.11 or later, uv and Node.js
Best for
- A team already on Google Cloud that wants to ship an agent to production along with its evaluation
- Seeing what a full agent cycle looks like, from creation to observability, before building your own
