Knowledge Engine tool for ADK

Supported in ADKPython v0.1.0Java v0.2.0

The vertex_ai_rag_retrieval tool allows the agent to perform private data retrieval using Knowledge Engine.

When you use grounding with Knowledge Engine, you need to prepare a RAG corpus beforehand. Please refer to the RAG ADK agent sample or Knowledge Engine page for setting it up.

!!! warning "Warning: Single tool per agent limitation"

This tool can only be used ***by itself*** within an agent instance.
