Google DeepMind enhances Gemini API agents with background execution and custom functions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Google DeepMind is enhancing its Gemini API Managed Agents with four new capabilities. These agents can now operate asynchronously in the background, connect to remote MCP servers, and utilize custom functions alongside existing sandbox tools. Additionally, the agents will support credential refreshes without losing their current state, representing a significant step for agent orchestration beyond simple prompt chains. AI

IMPACT These updates improve the capabilities and orchestration potential of AI agents built on the Gemini API.
