George Weale d9e930e823 docs(integrations): fix unresolvable imports and stale API claims (#2031)
* docs(integrations): fix unresolvable imports and stale API claims

* docs: apply style pass and drop out-of-scope import cleanup

* docs(integrations): address review feedback on gcs, cloud-trace, reflect-and-retry

Restore the gcs_ tool name prefixes in the GCS tool tables, since both
toolsets set tool_name_prefix="gcs" and the tables list names as the
model sees them. Use the current Agent Platform SDK name in cloud-trace
prose, make the reflect-and-retry failure description language-neutral
for Python and Go, and drop the redundant re-export clause.

* docs(gcs): note that tool_filter matches unprefixed tool names

Tool filtering runs inside get_tools() against the unprefixed name, and
get_tools_with_prefix() applies the gcs_ prefix afterwards, so the names
in the tables are not the names tool_filter expects.

* docs(computer-use): drop unused Gemini and override imports

# Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
<div class="language-support-tag">
<span class="lst-supported">Supported in ADK</span><span class="lst-python">Python v2.3.0</span>
</div>
The `GCSToolset` and `GCSAdminToolset` allow ADK agents to interact with
[Google Cloud Storage (GCS)](https://cloud.google.com/storage) to manage buckets
and read/write objects.
## Use cases
- **Object Management**: Read, download, create, upload, list, metadata check,
and delete GCS objects.
- **Bucket Management**: List cloud storage buckets, create new buckets, change
configurations, such as enabling versioning or uniform bucket-level access, and
delete buckets.
- **Data Integration**: Use cloud storage objects dynamically as part of the
agent's workflow, such as processing files and ingestion.
## Prerequisites
- **Enable the Google Cloud Storage API** in the target Google Cloud project.
- **IAM Permissions**: The authenticated principal (Application Default
Credentials, service account, or user) must have the correct permissions,
including `roles/storage.objectAdmin` and `roles/storage.admin`, to perform GCS
bucket and object operations.
- A Google Cloud Project ID configured.
## Authentication
The `GCSToolset` and `GCSAdminToolset` support several authentication mechanisms
via `GCSCredentialsConfig`:
### Application Default Credentials
Recommended for local development and deployment to Google Cloud, including
Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, and GKE.
```python
import google.auth
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# Load Application Default Credentials
credentials, _ = google.auth.default()
# Configure the toolset
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(credentials=credentials)
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(credentials_config=credentials_config)
```
### Service Account
Allows providing credentials from a service account file.
```python
import google.auth
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# Load Service Account credentials
credentials, _ = google.auth.load_credentials_from_file('path/to/key.json')
# Configure the toolset
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(credentials=credentials)
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(credentials_config=credentials_config)
```
### External Access Token
For acting on behalf of an end-user, such as via an OAuth2 flow or an external
identity provider.
```python
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# Assume 'user_token' is obtained via an external OAuth flow
credentials = Credentials(token=user_token)
# Configure the toolset
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(credentials=credentials)
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(credentials_config=credentials_config)
```
### External Auth Providers
For platforms like Gemini Enterprise where the token is managed externally by
the environment or platform.
```python
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# The key used to look up the access token in the session state
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(
external_access_token_key="YOUR_AUTH_ID"
)
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(credentials_config=credentials_config)
```
### Interactive Auth (ADK Web)
For interactive sessions using `adk web` interface to trigger an OAuth 2.0
login flow.
```python
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# Provide OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Secret
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(
client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
)
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(credentials_config=credentials_config)
```
## Use with agent
The following example shows how to configure credentials and instantiate the
storage toolset with write access enabled.
```python
import google.auth
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import LlmAgent
from google.adk.integrations.gcs import GCSToolset
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.settings import GCSToolSettings, Capabilities
from google.adk.integrations.gcs.gcs_credentials import GCSCredentialsConfig
# 1. Load Application Default Credentials (ADC)
application_default_credentials, _ = google.auth.default()
# 2. Configure credentials config
credentials_config = GCSCredentialsConfig(
credentials=application_default_credentials
)
# 3. Configure settings (allow read and write operations)
tool_settings = GCSToolSettings(capabilities=[Capabilities.READ_WRITE])
# 4. Instantiate the GCS Toolset
gcs_toolset = GCSToolset(
credentials_config=credentials_config,
gcs_tool_settings=tool_settings
)
# 5. Define an LLM Agent with the toolset
agent = LlmAgent(
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
name="gcs_agent",
description="Agent for interacting with GCS buckets and objects.",
instruction="""
You are a storage assistant agent. Use the GCS tools to answer questions,
list objects, upload files, or perform admin tasks as requested.
""",
tools=[gcs_toolset]
)
```
## Available tools
The GCS integration split the capabilities into two main toolsets:
### GCS Storage Tools (`GCSToolset`)
Tool | Description
---- | -----------
`gcs_get_bucket` | Get metadata information about a GCS bucket.
`gcs_list_objects` | List object names in a GCS bucket. Supports optional prefix filtering and pagination.
`gcs_get_object_metadata` | Get metadata properties of a specific GCS object (blob).
`gcs_create_object` | Create a new object (blob) in a bucket from in-memory string data or a local file upload. Requires `Capabilities.READ_WRITE`.
`gcs_get_object_data` | Get content of a GCS object as a string, or download it directly to a local file.
`gcs_delete_objects` | Delete multiple GCS objects (blobs) from a bucket. Requires `Capabilities.READ_WRITE`.
### GCS Admin Tools (`GCSAdminToolset`)
Tool | Description
---- | -----------
`gcs_list_buckets` | List GCS bucket names in a Google Cloud project.
`gcs_create_bucket` | Create a new GCS bucket in a specific location. Requires `Capabilities.READ_WRITE`.
`gcs_update_bucket` | Update properties of a GCS bucket, such as versioning or uniform bucket-level access. Requires `Capabilities.READ_WRITE`.
`gcs_delete_bucket` | Delete a GCS bucket (bucket must be empty first). Requires `Capabilities.READ_WRITE`.
!!! note
The tool names listed here are the ones exposed to the model (prefixed with `gcs_`).
When using `tool_filter`, reference the unprefixed names such as `get_bucket`.
