Open Agents in the selected Workspace.

Managed Agent

Choose Create Agent, select the managed type, and enter the model, write-only model credential, system instructions, Service Account, Channels, and Gateways. Save and publish the Agent after attaching a Channel. The model credential is stored as an Agent-owned credential and is not shown again in full.

Example

Use Weather MCP Example as the capability source. Create a managed weather Agent, attach the Weather MCP Gateway, publish it, and ask for a forecast through a Channel.

External Agent

Create the external Agent identity first, then initialize the SDK in your running application. The Agent page shows connection state, Discovery, Channels, Gateways, Traces, approvals, and Analytics.

Example

groundforgeai/demo

Connect simple_agent_service.py and confirm get_weather appears in Discovery.
