Help your ADK agents deal with Gemini error 429

Your agent.py likely passes a model ID as a string when creating the root_agent:

root_agent = Agent(
    # ...
    model=os.getenv("MODEL"),
    # ...
)

Activate and Configure Service Agents on Google Cloud

Note

Service agent == Google-managed service account

1. Service agents are created automatically as you enable and/or begin to use Google Cloud APIs.

2. Service agents often require and are automatically granted predefined IAM roles they need to manage the resources for the APIs they represent.

Sometimes, one or both of these does not happen when an API is enabled on a Google Cloud project. If that happens, don't "power cycle" the API off and on. There is a better way.

Datastore is weird!

It is a legacy service tied to App Engine. Once enabled, App Engine API cannot be disabled on a Cloud project.

Cloud projects can use either Datastore or Firestore but not both. Once set, it cannot be changed. Since all legacy App Engine apps use Datastore, a different project must be used for Firestore usage.

This Codelab gives some historical context on App Engine, Datastore, and Firestore.

For Python client for Datastore API there are at least two options:
