What happened
Google announced new capabilities for Managed Agents in Gemini API. These include background tasks and remote MCP support. The goal is to help developers build reliable, production-ready agents.
The context
Managed Agents let developers create AI agents that can perform multi-step tasks. Background tasks allow agents to run without blocking user interaction. Remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets agents connect to external tools and data sources. This makes agents more useful for real-world applications.
