Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

adk-agent-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ADK Agent Builder

Build production-ready agents with Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK): scaffolding, tool wiring, orchestration patterns, testing, and optional deployment to Vertex AI Agent Engine.

Overview

  • Creates a minimal, production-oriented ADK scaffold (agent entrypoint, tool registry, config, and tests).
  • Supports single-agent ReAct-style workflows and multi-agent orchestration (Sequential/Parallel/Loop).
  • Produces a validation checklist suitable for CI (lint/tests/smoke prompts) and optional Agent Engine deployment verification.

Prerequisites

  • Python runtime compatible with your project (often Python 3.10+)
  • google-adk installed and importable
  • If deploying: access to a Google Cloud project with Vertex AI enabled and permissions to deploy Agent Engine runtimes
  • Secrets available via environment variables or a secret manager (never hardcoded)

Instructions

  1. Confirm scope: local-only agent scaffold vs Vertex AI Agent Engine deployment.
  2. Choose an architecture:
    • Single agent (ReAct) for adaptive tool-driven tasks
    • Multi-agent system (specialists + orchestrator) for complex, multi-step workflows
  3. Define the tool surface (built-in ADK tools + any custom tools you need) and required credentials.
  4. Scaffold the project:
    • src/agents/, src/tools/, tests/, and a dependency file (pyproject.toml or requirements.txt)
  5. Implement the minimum viable agent and a smoke test prompt; add regression tests for tool failures.
  6. If deploying, produce an adk deploy ... command and a post-deploy validation checklist (AgentCard/task endpoints, permissions, logs).

Output

  • A repo-ready ADK scaffold (files and directories) plus starter agent code
  • Tool stubs and wiring points (where to add new tools safely)
  • A test + validation plan (unit tests and a minimal smoke prompt)
  • Optional: deployment commands and verification steps for Agent Engine

Error Handling

  • Dependency/runtime issues: provide pinned install commands and validate imports.
  • Auth/permission failures: identify the missing role/API and propose least-privilege fixes.
  • Tool failures/rate limits: add retries/backoff guidance and a regression test to prevent recurrence.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
