## Description

Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform SDK for Python
======================================================

|GA| |pypi| |versions| |unit-tests| |system-tests| |sample-tests|

.. note::

   The Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform was formerly known as Vertex AI.

.. warning::

   **Upcoming Rebranding:**

   The ``agent_engines`` module will be rebranded as ``runtimes`` in an upcoming major release (not before 7/31/2026). See `Agent Runtime <https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise-agent-platform/scale#agent-runtime>`_ for details.

   Additionally, the ``sandboxes``, ``sessions``, and ``memory_banks`` modules will be moved directly under the top-level ``client`` object:

   .. list-table::
      :header-rows: 1

      * - Current method
        - future method
      * - ``client.agent_engines.sandboxes``
        - ``client.sandboxes``
      * - ``client.agent_engines.sandboxes.snapshots``
        - ``client.sandboxes.snapshots``
      * - ``client.agent_engines.sandboxes.templates``
        - ``client.sandboxes.templates``
      * - ``client.agent_engines.sessions``
        - ``client.sessions``
      * - ``client.agent_engines.sessions.events``

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Python SDK for building, deploying, and managing AI agents and generative AI applications on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Verdict: Production-ready SDK for Google Cloud AI/agent development with active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive Apache 2.0 licensing. Low install friction and broad Python version support (3.10–3.14) make it accessible. Note: upcoming major release (before 7/31/2026) will reorganize module structure; pin to <2.0.0 to avoid breaking changes.
