Gemini Agents API

Agents are systems that leverage Gemini models, a set of tools, and reasoning capabilities to perform complex, multi-step tasks and achieve specific goals. Unlike a single model call, an agent can plan, execute a series of actions, interact with external systems, and synthesize information to fulfill a user's request.
