Google's open-source, code-first toolkit (Python/Go/Java, TypeScript added Mar 2026) for building, evaluating and deploying multi-agent systems, the framework behind Vertex AI Agent Engine. ~20K GitHub stars, multi-language (Python/Go/Java/TS), backed by Google and integrated with Vertex AI Agent Engine; a top-tier alternative to LangGraph/CrewAI.

Status
Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) is Beta.
The integration path is built and tested. Customers can attach now; expect minor breaking changes until the 1.0 contract freeze.
Ships from the repo as `intramedial-actor-google-agent-development-kit` — not yet on a package registry.
How to attach
SDK / Library.
Install the adapter
Add intramedial-actor-google-agent-development-kit to your project.
Issue a workspace API key
Generate a key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys, scoped to the workspace and environment this agent's data should land in.
Record each run
Construct the adapter once with your token and workspace id where you initialise your Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) agent, then call recordRun(run) when a run finishes. The adapter maps the run to signed receipts and, by default, captures a failed attestation instead of crashing your agent.
Verify
Trigger one agent run. The Witness page shows the record once the agent has emitted it.
What gets recorded
4 event types, captured today.
- agent.invocation
- Every top-level agent run — the input, the resolved output, timing and token usage.
- tool.call
- Each tool or function the agent invokes, with its arguments and returned result.
- memory.write
- Writes to the agent's persistent memory store, so state changes stay auditable.
- sub_agent.spawn
- Sub-agents the orchestrator spawns, captured with their parent lineage.

Start recording Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) agents.
Every Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) run lands in the same canonical Witness record as every other framework in the catalogue: signed, replayable, and exportable as evidence.
A Trustvice ProductAgents act when the plane says yes, and the record says why.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.
