Agents CLI in Agent Platform: create to production in one CLI- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduced Agents CLI in Agent Platform, a unified programmatic backbone for the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) on Google Cloud. This CLI is designed for AI coding agents and provides a machine-readable interface to the Google Cloud agent stack (Agent Platform, Cloud Run, A2A Integration). Key features include injecting bundled skills into coding environments, enabling local simulation and evaluation (unit tests, data validation, comparison of runs), and automating deployment to production infrastructure (Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, GKE) via Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines. It also supports publishing agents to Gemini Enterprise. The CLI operates in 'Agent Mode' for AI consumption and 'Human Mode' for direct developer execution.
