+title: Google ADK Runtime
+description: Run Molecule AI workspaces on Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) — Gemini-native agents with sequential, parallel, and loop workflows.
+---
+
+import { Callout } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/callout';
+
+# Google ADK Runtime
+
+The `google-adk` runtime adapter integrates [Google's Agent Development Kit](https://github.com/google/adk-python) (v1.0+, Apache-2.0) into Molecule AI workspaces. ADK is Google's production-grade Python framework for building AI agents backed by Gemini models, with built-in support for sequential, parallel, and loop execution patterns.
+
+
+ Google ADK adapter was added in PR #550 (issue #542). It passes 46/46 tests with 100% coverage.
+
+
+---
+
+## When to use Google ADK vs other runtimes
+
+| | Google ADK | LangGraph | AutoGen |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Best for** | Gemini-native agents, Google Cloud integrations | Complex stateful graphs, fine-grained flow control | Multi-agent dialogue and code-execution workflows |
+| **Model family** | Gemini (gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-1.5-pro, …) | Any LangChain-supported model | Any AutoGen-supported model |
+| **Execution model** | Sequential / Parallel / Loop built-in | Explicit graph with nodes and edges | Conversation-driven, agents negotiate through dialogue |
+| **Tool support** | Google-native + LangChain tools | LangChain tools | Python functions, code execution |
+| **State persistence** | ADK SessionService | LangGraph checkpointer | In-process conversation history |
+| **Google Cloud fit** | First-class | Via LangChain integrations | Via plugin |
+
+**Choose Google ADK when:**
+- Your workload is Google Cloud–native (Vertex AI, Cloud Tools, Google Workspace)
+- You want Gemini models with minimal adapter overhead
+- You prefer ADK's opinionated sequential/parallel/loop composition over explicit graph edges
+- You're building agents that call Google APIs (Maps, Search, Drive, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Each Molecule AI workspace template is a standalone Docker image. The Google ADK workspace template (`molecule-ai-workspace-template-google-adk`) ships with the adapter pre-configured. To use it, set the runtime in your workspace `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml title="config.yaml"
+runtime: google-adk
+model: google:gemini-2.0-flash
+```
+
+If you are building a custom image on top of `molecule-ai-workspace-runtime`, add the adapter dependency to your `requirements.txt`:
+
+```text title="requirements.txt"
+molecule-ai-workspace-runtime>=0.1.0
+google-adk>=1.0.0
+```
+
+Install manually with pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install google-adk
+```
+
+
+ Google ADK requires **Python 3.10+**. Ensure your workspace Dockerfile uses `python:3.11-slim` or newer.
+
+
+---
+
+## Secrets
+
+The adapter reads your Google credentials from workspace secrets. Set these before starting a Google ADK workspace:
+
+| Secret key | Required | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | Yes (unless using Vertex AI) | Gemini API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) |
+| `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` | Vertex AI only | GCP project ID |
+| `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION` | Vertex AI only | Region (e.g. `us-central1`) |
+| `GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI` | Vertex AI only | Set to `true` to route via Vertex AI instead of the public API |
+
+Set secrets via the canvas Settings panel or the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/settings/secrets \
+ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+ -d '{"key":"GOOGLE_API_KEY","value":"AIza..."}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Basic usage
+
+### Minimal `config.yaml`
+
+```yaml title="config.yaml"
+name: My ADK Agent
+runtime: google-adk
+model: google:gemini-2.0-flash
+role: |
+ You are a helpful assistant. Answer questions clearly and concisely.
+tier: 2
+```
+
+### With runtime configuration
+
+```yaml title="config.yaml"
+name: Research Agent
+runtime: google-adk
+model: google:gemini-1.5-pro
+role: |
+ You are a research specialist. Gather and synthesise information from multiple sources.
+tier: 2
+
+runtime_config:
+ max_iterations: 20
+ enable_code_execution: true
+ temperature: 0.3
+```
+
+### Org template example
+
+```yaml title="org-template/org.yaml"
+org_name: Research Team
+defaults:
+ runtime: google-adk
+ model: google:gemini-2.0-flash
+ tier: 2
+
+workspaces:
+ - name: Research Lead
+ role: Coordinate research tasks and synthesise findings from your team.
+ children:
+ - name: Web Researcher
+ role: Search the web and extract relevant information.
+ runtime_config:
+ enable_code_execution: false
+ - name: Data Analyst
+ role: Analyse datasets and produce statistical summaries.
+ runtime_config:
+ enable_code_execution: true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+All options go under `runtime_config:` in `config.yaml`.
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `max_iterations` | integer | `10` | Maximum agent reasoning steps per turn |
+| `temperature` | float | `0.0` | Sampling temperature passed to the Gemini model (0.0–2.0) |
+| `enable_code_execution` | boolean | `false` | Allow the agent to execute Python code via ADK's built-in code-execution tool |
+| `output_key` | string | `"output"` | Key in the ADK session state that holds the agent's final response |
+| `session_db_url` | string | `null` | SQLite or Postgres URL for ADK session persistence across restarts. If null, uses in-memory session storage. |
+
+---
+
+## Tools and plugins
+
+The Google ADK adapter is fully compatible with Molecule AI's plugin system. Plugins installed in a workspace are injected into the ADK agent's tool list via the runtime's plugin registry.
+
+**Supported plugin shapes with Google ADK:**
+
+| Plugin shape | Supported | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| MCP server | Yes | Tools exposed via MCP are wrapped as ADK `FunctionTool` instances |
+| Skill files | Yes | Skills are injected into the system prompt |
+| Hook scripts | Yes | `PreToolUse` / `PostToolUse` / `UserPromptSubmit` hooks fire normally |
+| Slash commands | Yes | Commands are routed through the workspace A2A server as usual |
+
+Example: adding the `superpowers` plugin to a Google ADK workspace:
+
+```yaml title="config.yaml"
+runtime: google-adk
+model: google:gemini-2.0-flash
+plugins:
+ - superpowers
+ - molecule-dev
+```
+
+---
+
+## A2A communication
+
+Google ADK workspaces participate in the full Molecule AI A2A network — they can receive tasks from parent agents, delegate to children, and send messages to siblings — identically to any other runtime.
+
+The adapter injects the standard A2A MCP tools (`list_peers`, `delegate_task`, `delegate_task_async`, `send_message_to_user`, `commit_memory`, `recall_memory`) into the ADK agent's tool list automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Transcript support
+
+The Google ADK adapter exposes live session transcripts to the canvas "look over shoulder" view. Each agent turn (tool calls, model responses) is streamed as it completes.
+
+---
+
+## Comparison: config.yaml across runtimes
+
+
+
+```yaml title="LangGraph workspace"
+runtime: langgraph
+model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6
+```
+
+```yaml title="AutoGen workspace"
+runtime: autogen
+model: openai:gpt-4o
+```
+
+```yaml title="Google ADK workspace"
+runtime: google-adk
+model: google:gemini-2.0-flash
+runtime_config:
+ temperature: 0.1
+```
+
+The `model` field follows `:` format. For Google ADK, the `google:` prefix routes through the `google-genai` LangChain integration.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `google.api_core.exceptions.InvalidArgument: 400 API key not valid`
+
+Your `GOOGLE_API_KEY` secret is missing or invalid. Check it in the canvas Settings panel and verify it in [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).
+
+### `RuntimeError: google-adk is not installed`
+
+The workspace image is missing the `google-adk` Python package. If you are using a custom image, ensure `requirements.txt` includes `google-adk>=1.0.0` and rebuild the image.
+
+### Agent returns empty response after tool calls
+
+Check `max_iterations` in `runtime_config`. If the agent hits the iteration cap mid-task, it returns the last partial result. Increase `max_iterations` or break the task into smaller sub-tasks via A2A delegation.
+
+### Vertex AI 403 Permission Denied
+
+Ensure `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`, `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`, and `GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true` are all set, and that your service account has the `roles/aiplatform.user` IAM role on the project.
