This PR introduces a new CLI command, generate_agent_card, to the ADK. This command simplifies the setup for A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication by automating the generation of Agent Cards. It scans the project directory for available agents and produces the necessary JSON configuration for each one.

Key Features

  • Automatic Discovery: Detects all agents in the current working directory using AgentLoader
  • Configurable RPC URL: Supports customization of the protocol, host, and port used in the agent's endpoint URL.
  • JSON Output: Outputs the generated Agent Cards to standard output (stdout) in JSON format, making it easy to pipe to other tools.
  • File Generation: Includes a --create-file flag to automatically save the generated configuration as agent.json within each agent's directory.
  • Graceful Fallback: Handles the optional a2a dependency, providing a clear error message if the package is not installed.

Usage Examples

Print Agent Cards to console:

adk generate_agent_card

Generate agent.json files for all agents with a custom host and port:

adk generate_agent_card --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --create-file

Summary of Changes

Hello @guillaumeblaquiere, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the ADK (Agent Development Kit) by adding a new command-line interface tool, generate_agent_card. This tool automates the process of creating Agent Cards, which are crucial for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication. It streamlines development by discovering agents within a project, generating their necessary JSON configurations, and offering options to either print these configurations to the console or save them as files, significantly reducing manual setup and improving the developer experience for A2A integration.

Highlights

  • New CLI Command: Introduced generate_agent_card to the ADK CLI, streamlining the setup for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication.
  • Automated Agent Card Generation: The new command automates the creation of Agent Cards by scanning the project directory for available agents and generating their necessary JSON configurations.
  • Configurable RPC URL: Users can customize the protocol, host, and port for the agent's endpoint URL when generating Agent Cards.
  • Flexible Output Options: Generated Agent Cards can be outputted to standard output (stdout) in JSON format or automatically saved as agent.json files within each agent's directory using the --create-file flag.
  • Graceful Dependency Handling: The command gracefully handles the optional a2a dependency, providing a clear error message if the package is not installed.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new CLI command, generate_agent_card, for A2A agent card generation. The implementation is well-structured, with good error handling for optional dependencies and for processing multiple agents. The new command is correctly integrated into the existing CLI tool. I've added a few comments, mostly related to code style and minor improvements in the new cli_generate_agent_card.py file. The new test case in test_fast_api.py is also a great addition to ensure the A2A runner factory works as expected.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new CLI command, generate_agent_card, which is a valuable addition for A2A communication setup. The implementation is solid, with good use of Click and handling for optional dependencies. My review focuses on improving the CLI's exit behavior for better scripting, enhancing test practices for isolation and clarity, and seeking clarification on some unrelated but significant changes in the test suite. Overall, this is a great feature addition.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new CLI command generate_agent_card for A2A communication setup, which is a great addition. The implementation is solid, with good error handling for missing dependencies and for processing individual agents. I've added a few suggestions for improvement, mainly around using more specific types and modern libraries.

However, I have a critical concern about a large number of tests being deleted in tests/unittests/agents/test_remote_a2a_agent.py, which might be a mistake. I've also pointed out some empty test cases in the new test file that should be implemented or removed. Please take a look at the detailed comments.

The port parameter is currently a string. It would be more robust to define it as an integer. You can achieve this by setting type=int and default=8000 in the @click.option for --port. Remember to also update the type hints for port to int in the generate_agent_card and _generate_agent_card_async function signatures.

Consider using pathlib for a more modern and object-oriented way to handle file paths. This would involve adding from pathlib import Path at the top of the file, changing os.getcwd() on line 68 to Path.cwd(), using the / operator for joining paths here, and using Path.write_text() to write the file. This can make the path manipulation code cleaner and more readable.

Could you please provide some context on why create_autospec is being replaced with MagicMock here? create_autospec provides stricter mocking which is generally safer by ensuring the mock has the same interface as the spec.

This test case is currently empty. Please either implement the test for the ImportError scenario or remove the empty test function. Leaving empty tests can be confusing.
