  • Agents CLI - Command-line tool for scaffolding, testing, and deploying agents.
• Builders & Discovery
  • Agent Studio - Low-code visual interface for rapid agent prototyping and deployment.
  • Agent Garden - Discover, customize, and deploy pre-built agent templates.
• Tools & Data Integration
  • Grounding - Connect models to real-world data and Google Search for factual accuracy.
  • RAG Engine - Managed Retrieval-Augmented Generation for enterprise datasets.
  • Agent Search (previously Vertex AI Search, Generative AI App Builder) - Semantic search engines tailored for your data.
  • Vector Search 2.0 - High-scale, low-latency managed vector database.

🌐 Protocols & Interoperability

Open standards to help agents communicate, perform actions, and generate interfaces.

• Agent2Agent (A2A) - Secure protocol for multi-agent coordination and handoffs.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Universal standard for connecting models to external tools.
• Agent-to-UI (A2UI) - Protocol for dynamic, agent-driven user interface generation.
• Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) - Secure standard for automated financial transactions by agents.
• Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) - Unified standard for managing e-commerce and retail operations.
