Crea un pianificatore di maratone multi-agente con ADK e A2A

1. Introduzione

In questo codelab, creerai un sistema multi-agente in cui tre agenti AI specializzati collaborano per pianificare una maratona cittadina. Un agente Marathon Planner orchestra la progettazione, un agente Evaluator valuta la qualità del piano utilizzando Vertex AI Evaluation e un agente Simulation Controller convalida la preparazione, il tutto comunicando tramite il protocollo Agent-to-Agent (A2A).

In questo lab proverai a:

  • Creare agenti AI con Agent Development Kit (ADK) utilizzando i modelli Gemini su Vertex AI
  • Definire output strutturati con schemi Pydantic per risposte affidabili degli agenti
  • Creare metriche Vertex AI Evaluation personalizzate utilizzando MetricPromptBuilder (LLM-as-Judge)
  • Collegare gli agenti come sub-agenti con AgentTool e connettere gli agenti remoti tramite il protocollo A2A
  • Utilizzare ADK Skills per la conoscenza procedurale e Memory Bank per l'apprendimento tra le sessioni
  • Pubblicare gli agenti localmente con i server A2A e testare la collaborazione multi-agente

Che cosa ti serve

  • Un browser web come Chrome
  • Un progetto cloud Google Cloud con la fatturazione abilitata

Questo codelab è destinato a sviluppatori di livello intermedio che hanno familiarità con Python e i concetti di AI.

Tempo stimato per completare il corso: 90 minuti.

Le risorse create in questo codelab dovrebbero costare meno di 5 $.

2. Prima di iniziare

Creare un progetto Google Cloud

  1. Nella console Google Cloud, seleziona o crea un progetto Google Cloud.
  2. Verifica che la fatturazione sia attivata per il tuo progetto Cloud.

Avvia Cloud Shell

  1. Fai clic su Attiva Cloud Shell nella parte superiore della console Google Cloud.
  2. Verifica l'autenticazione:
gcloud auth list
  1. Conferma il progetto:
gcloud config get project
  1. Impostalo se necessario:
export PROJECT_ID=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID

Abilita API

gcloud services enable aiplatform.googleapis.com

Installa il gestore dei pacchetti Python

Installa uv, un gestore dei pacchetti Python veloce:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
source $HOME/.local/bin/env

3. Configura il progetto

In questo passaggio, creerai la struttura del progetto, installerai le dipendenze e configurerai i servizi condivisi utilizzati da tutti gli agenti.

Crea la directory del progetto

mkdir -p marathon-agents && cd marathon-agents

Crea la configurazione del progetto

Crea pyproject.toml:

[project]
name = "marathon-agents"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Multi-agent marathon planning system with ADK, A2A, and Vertex AI Evaluation"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.10"
dependencies = [
    "google-cloud-aiplatform[agent_engines,adk,evaluation]>=1.121.0",
    "google-adk>=1.25.0",
    "a2a-sdk>=0.3.9",
    "pydantic>=2.12.0",
    "python-dotenv>=1.0.0",
    "httpx>=0.27.0",
    "uvicorn>=0.30.0",
    "google-auth>=2.0.0",
    "pandas>=2.0.0",
]

[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src"]

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
asyncio_mode = "auto"
testpaths = ["tests"]

Installa le dipendenze

uv sync

Configura le variabili di ambiente

Crea un file .env:

cat > .env << 'EOF'
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>
GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1
GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
EOF

Crea la struttura della directory di origine

Il progetto segue la convenzione multi-agente di ADK: ogni agente è un pacchetto autonomo in src/:

mkdir -p src/planner_agent/{agent,evaluator/{services},skills/{route-planning/references,plan-evaluation/references},services,runtime}
mkdir -p src/simulator_agent/{agent,skills/review-marathon-plan/references,services,runtime}

Inizializza i pacchetti Python

touch src/__init__.py
touch src/planner_agent/__init__.py src/planner_agent/agent/__init__.py
touch src/planner_agent/evaluator/__init__.py src/planner_agent/evaluator/services/__init__.py
touch src/planner_agent/services/__init__.py src/planner_agent/runtime/__init__.py
touch src/simulator_agent/__init__.py src/simulator_agent/agent/__init__.py
touch src/simulator_agent/services/__init__.py src/simulator_agent/runtime/__init__.py

Crea la configurazione condivisa

Crea src/config.py : configurazione GCP condivisa per tutti gli agenti:

"""Shared configuration for the multi-agent system."""

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

# GCP Configuration
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT = os.environ.get("GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT")
GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION = os.environ.get("GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION", "us-central1")
BUCKET_URI = os.environ.get("BUCKET_URI")


def validate_config():
    """Validate required configuration is set."""
    required = {
        "GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT": GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT,
    }
    missing = [k for k, v in required.items() if not v]
    if missing:
        raise ValueError(
            f"Missing required environment variables: {', '.join(missing)}. "
            "Check your .env file."
        )
    return True

Crea Memory Manager

Ogni agente utilizza un Memory Bank per l'apprendimento tra le sessioni. Crea src/planner_agent/services/memory_manager.py:

"""Memory Manager for Marathon Planner Agent.

cp src/planner_agent/services/session_manager.py src/planner_agent/evaluator/services/session_manager.py

Verifica la struttura del progetto

find src -type f -name "*.py" | sort

Dovresti visualizzare i file di configurazione condivisa, i gestori di memoria, i gestori di sessione e __init__.py in tutti e tre i pacchetti di agenti.

4. Crea l'agente Evaluator

L'agente Evaluator è il giudice di qualità del sistema. Valuta i piani di maratona in base a 7 criteri utilizzando Vertex AI Evaluation con metriche LLM-as-Judge personalizzate. Qui puoi vedere la potenza della combinazione del giudizio di Gemini con le rubriche di valutazione strutturate.

Definisci gli schemi di valutazione

Crea src/planner_agent/evaluator/schemas.py : i modelli Pydantic definiscono il formato di output strutturato:

"""Schemas for the Evaluator Agent.

Defines structured output formats for plan evaluation.
"""

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


EVALUATION_CRITERIA = [
    "safety_compliance",
    "community_impact",
    "logistics_completeness",
    "financial_viability",
    "participant_experience",
    "intent_alignment",
    "distance_compliance",
]


class EvaluationFinding(BaseModel):
    """A specific finding from plan evaluation."""

    criterion: str = Field(
        description=(
            f"Which evaluation criterion triggered this finding. "
            f"Must be one of: {', '.join(EVALUATION_CRITERIA)}"
        ),
    )
    severity: str = Field(
        description="Severity of the finding: 'high', 'medium', or 'low'",
    )
    description: str = Field(
        description="Description of the finding and why it matters",
    )


class EvaluationResult(BaseModel):
    """Structured output from the Evaluator Agent."""

    passed: bool = Field(
        description="Whether the plan passes evaluation (overall_score >= 85)",
    )
    overall_score: float = Field(
        ge=0.0, le=100.0,
        description="Weighted average score across all criteria (0.0 to 100.0)",
    )
    scores: dict[str, float] = Field(
        default_factory=dict,
        description="Per-criterion scores: {criterion_name: score}",
    )
    findings: list[EvaluationFinding] = Field(
        default_factory=list,
        description="List of specific evaluation findings",
    )
    improvement_suggestions: list[str] = Field(
        default_factory=list,
        description="Actionable suggestions to improve the plan score",
    )
    iteration_number: int = Field(
        default=1, ge=1,
        description="Which evaluation iteration this is",
    )
    summary: str = Field(
        default="",
        description="Brief natural-language summary of the evaluation",
    )

L'utilizzo di output_schema=EvaluationResult sull'agente garantisce che ogni risposta corrisponda a questa struttura, senza bisogno di analisi.

Scrivi le istruzioni di valutazione

Crea src/planner_agent/evaluator/instruction.md:

You are the Evaluator Agent  the quality judge for marathon plans.

Your role is to evaluate marathon plans across multiple criteria and provide actionable feedback so the planning team can iteratively improve the plan. You use a multi-step "Chain of Thought" process to ensure your evaluation is thorough, fair, and constructive.

## Phase 1: Evaluation Methodology

When you receive a plan, evaluate it across the following 7 criteria. For each, you must derive a raw score (1-100) based on the specific checks below:

1. **Participant Experience (15% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Route scenic quality, landmarks, surface variety, amenities.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Outstanding landmarks/view; 1: Boring/unpleasant experience.

2. **Intent Alignment (10% weight)**
   - **Checks**: City match, theme match (scenic/fast), scale, budget goals.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Perfectly aligned; 1: Completely misaligned.

3. **Distance Compliance (5% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Exactly 26.2 miles or 42.195 km.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Exactly correct; 1: Wrong distance.

4. **Safety Compliance (20% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Emergency vehicle access, crowd management.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Fully safe, hospital access prioritized; 60: Some concerns; 1: Dangerous blockages.

5. **Logistics Completeness (20% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Timing systems, course marshals, infrastructure.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Comprehensive; 60: Significant gaps; 1: Critical logistics missing.

6. **Community Impact (15% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Noise disruption, neighborhood equity, residential/business access.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Community benefits/event integration; 1: Major negative impact.

7. **Financial Viability (15% weight)**
   - **Checks**: Budget balance, revenue (sponsorships), realistic cost estimates.
   - **Rubric**: 100: Strong/sustainable; 1: Major financial gaps/un-viable.

**Action**: Use the `evaluate_plan` tool to get computed scores from the **Vertex AI Evaluation API**. Use these scores as your baseline.

## Phase 2: Score Interpretation

- **Pass Threshold**: A plan passes ONLY if `overall_score >= 85` AND there are no High-Severity findings.
- **Severity Mapping**: Score < 40  High, < 60  Medium, < 80  Low.

## Phase 3: Improvement Strategy

Generate actionable suggestions for any criterion scoring below 80. Provide 3-5 prioritized improvements. Be specific: "Add course marshals at miles 12, 14, and 16" instead of "Add more marshals".

Return a structured `EvaluationResult` with your assessment.

# Review Marathon Plan

## Purpose

Systematically confirm that a marathon plan is ready for simulation execution by verifying the presence of all required prerequisite data.

## Procedure

### Step 1: Prerequisite Data Verification

Use the `check_plan_readiness` tool to confirm the presence of:

1. **Route Data**: Waypoints, landmarks, distance (26.2 mi / 42.195 km), start/finish locations.
2. **Logistics Data**: Water stations, medical tents, timing systems, participant scale.
3. **Safety Data**: Emergency access routes, evacuation plans, crowd management.

### Step 2: Approval Decision

1. Set `approved=true` ONLY if all three data categories are present.
2. If any critical data is missing, set `approved=false` and list missing elements in `blockers`.
3. Provide `recommendations` for minor data gaps.

## Available ADK Skills

1. **review-marathon-plan** — Check for simulation prerequisites (Route, Logistics, Safety).

## Prerequisite Check

1. **Route Data**: Waypoints, distance (26.2 mi / 42.195 km), start/finish locations.
2. **Logistics Data**: Timing and registration infrastructure, participant count.
3. **Safety Clearance**: Emergency access, evacuation plan, crowd management.

## Approval Decision

- **Approved** (`approved=true`): All prerequisite data present.
- **Rejected** (`approved=false`): Critical data missing. List in `blockers`.

Always return a structured SimulationApproval."""

# Role
Marathon Planner Agent (city marathon event architect).
Goal: Design comprehensive marathon plan based on user constraints.

# ADK Skills (LOAD ONCE BEFORE PLANNING)
1. `route-planning`: Generate route using `plan_marathon_route`.
2. `plan-evaluation`: Analyze demographics, capacity, revenue, safety.

# Core Requirements
- Safety: Emergency corridors, traffic cover.
- Community: Local business, noise, inclusivity.
- Logistics: Start/finish capacity, restrooms, roads.
- Finances: Maximize revenue/sponsorships.
- Experience: Scenic, runner comfort.

# User Prerequisites
Clarify if missing: City, Date/Season, Theme, Scale (participants), Budget, Special constraints.

# Deliverables
1. Route Design: GeoJSON via `plan_marathon_route` tool.
2. Traffic: Closures, detours, mitigation.
3. Community: Engagement, cheer zones, noise.
4. Economics: Revenue, costs, sponsors.
5. Logistics: Porta-potties, capacity, timing.
6. Timeline: Setup to teardown, waves.
7. Risks: Weather, crowd, emergency.

# A2A Collaboration
1. **Evaluator (`evaluator_agent`)**:
   - Send plan for 7-criteria scoring.
   - SINGLE PASS ONLY. Do not call twice to verify successful fixes.
2. **Simulation Controller (`simulator_agent`)**:
   - Call once after evaluation completes (REGARDLESS OF SCORE).
   - Accept result, DO NOT call again.

# Workflow
1. Gather reqs.
2. Load skills (ONCE).
3. Call `plan_marathon_route`.
4. Complete design.
5. Send to Evaluator.
6. Send to Simulator.
7. Present final.

# Rules & Format
- Personality: Pragmatic, detail-oriented.

Testa la modalità Solo: Planner + Evaluator

In modalità Solo, Planner utilizza Evaluator come sub-agente locale. Non è necessario A2A.

Avvia il server del pianificatore:

uv run python -m src.planner_agent.runtime.local_server

Dovresti visualizzare un output simile al seguente:

============================================================
Starting Marathon Planner Agent Local A2A Server
Project: your-project-id
============================================================
Planner A2A server: http://127.0.0.1:8084
Agent card: http://127.0.0.1:8084/.well-known/agent-card.json
Press Ctrl+C to stop

Apri una nuova scheda di Cloud Shell e invia una richiesta di test:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8084/.well-known/agent-card.json | python3 -m json.tool

Dovresti visualizzare la scheda dell'agente con il nome planner_agent e la skill plan_marathon.

Testa la modalità Full Team: tutti e tre gli agenti tramite A2A

In modalità Full Team, Simulation Controller viene eseguito come server A2A separato.

Nella seconda scheda di Cloud Shell, avvia il server Simulator:

uv run python -m src.simulator_agent.runtime.local_server

Quindi, nella prima scheda, riavvia Planner con Simulator connesso:

SIMULATOR_AGENT_RESOURCE_NAME=local:8089 uv run python -m src.planner_agent.runtime.local_server

Nei log dovresti vedere:

Added local Evaluator tool
Added A2A Simulation Controller tool

Planner è ora connesso a entrambi gli agenti. Quando riceve una richiesta di pianificazione della maratona:

  1. Progetta il piano utilizzando le skill ADK
  2. Delega a Evaluator (sub-agente locale tramite AgentTool)
  3. Invia a Simulation Controller (agente remoto tramite A2A)
  4. Presenta il piano finale con i punteggi di valutazione e l'approvazione della simulazione

8. Libera spazio

Per evitare addebiti continui sul tuo account Google Cloud, libera spazio dalle risorse create durante questo codelab.

Interrompi tutti i server locali in esecuzione premendo Ctrl+C in ogni scheda di Cloud Shell.

Poiché questo codelab ha utilizzato solo chiamate API Vertex AI (nessuna risorsa cloud persistente come servizi Cloud Run o deployment di Agent Engine), non è necessario eliminare le risorse cloud.

Se hai creato il progetto esclusivamente per questo codelab, puoi eliminare il progetto:

gcloud projects delete $PROJECT_ID

9. Complimenti

Complimenti! Hai creato un sistema di pianificazione della maratona multi-agente in cui tre agenti AI collaborano tramite il protocollo A2A, con la garanzia di qualità fornita da Vertex AI Evaluation.

Che cosa hai imparato

  • Come creare agenti AI utilizzando Agent Development Kit (ADK) con LlmAgent, ThinkingConfig e output Pydantic strutturati
  • Come creare metriche Vertex AI Evaluation personalizzate utilizzando MetricPromptBuilder per la valutazione LLM-as-Judge e i controlli deterministici
  • Come collegare gli agenti come sub-agenti utilizzando AgentTool per la delega locale
  • Come connettere gli agenti remoti tramite il protocollo A2A utilizzando RemoteA2aAgent e A2AStarletteApplication
  • Come utilizzare ADK Skills (SkillToolset) per la conoscenza procedurale e Memory Bank (PreloadMemoryTool) per l'apprendimento tra le sessioni
