Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform - Managed Agents API Skill

This skill provides complete instructions, REST request endpoints, and JSON payload structures to programmatically manage custom Agent resources on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (Agent Platform).

The Managed Agents API forms the Control Plane of the platform. It allows developers to provision, retrieve, update, and delete tailored, stateful agent containers equipped with system instructions, sandboxed files, custom skill registries, and local/remote tools.

MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you MUST read Usage Attribution. For commands executed directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code), prefix gcloud with CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gemini-agents-api)" and append agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gemini-agents-api) to User-Agent headers.

All REST requests to the Control Plane must include a Bearer token derived from Application Default Credentials (ADC), and target the production global endpoint.
