feat: add a2a agent card generation with the CLI

Open guillaumeblaquiere opened this issue 2 weeks ago • 3 comments

This PR introduces a new CLI command, generate_agent_card, to the ADK. This command simplifies the setup for A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication by automating the generation of Agent Cards. It scans the project directory for available agents and produces the necessary JSON configuration for each one.

Key Features

  • Automatic Discovery: Detects all agents in the current working directory using AgentLoader
  • Configurable RPC URL: Supports customization of the protocol, host, and port used in the agent's endpoint URL.
  • JSON Output: Outputs the generated Agent Cards to standard output (stdout) in JSON format, making it easy to pipe to other tools.
  • File Generation: Includes a --create-file flag to automatically save the generated configuration as agent.json within each agent's directory.
  • Graceful Fallback: Handles the optional a2a dependency, providing a clear error message if the package is not installed.

Usage Examples

Print Agent Cards to console:

adk generate_agent_card

Generate agent.json files for all agents with a custom host and port:

adk generate_agent_card --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --create-file

Summary of Changes

Hello @guillaumeblaquiere, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the ADK (Agent Development Kit) by adding a new command-line interface tool, generate_agent_card. This tool automates the process of creating Agent Cards, which are crucial for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication. It streamlines development by discovering agents within a project, generating their necessary JSON configurations, and offering options to either print these configurations to the console or save them as files, significantly reducing manual setup and improving the developer experience for A2A integration.

Highlights

  • New CLI Command: Introduced generate_agent_card to the ADK CLI, streamlining the setup for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication.
  • Automated Agent Card Generation: The new command automates the creation of Agent Cards by scanning the project directory for available agents and generating their necessary JSON configurations.
  • Configurable RPC URL: Users can customize the protocol, host, and port for the agent's endpoint URL when generating Agent Cards.
  • Flexible Output Options: Generated Agent Cards can be outputted to standard output (stdout) in JSON format or automatically saved as agent.json files within each agent's directory using the --create-file flag.
  • Graceful Dependency Handling: The command gracefully handles the optional a2a dependency, providing a clear error message if the package is not installed.
