Takeaways

  • Google’s new Agent Platform is built on years of foundational, horizontal work in networking and API management.
  • Agent Gateway acts as a management construct, not a separate infrastructure stack, to orchestrate agent communications securely.
  • Skills are the new software artifacts; they are markdown files that guide agents but require governance like versioning and scanning to prevent tampering.
  • The Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agents is built on the same highly-scaled API management platform that runs all of Google’s services, ensuring enterprise-grade security.
  • Agent Registry will enable discovery and collaboration between specialized agents, fostering an ecosystem of agents and human-agent teams.
  • The future of agents is proactive and autonomous, capable of diagnosing and remediating issues, but this requires careful consideration of the level of autonomy granted.
  • Protecting unstructured, human-language communication is a key challenge that Google is addressing with tools like AI Protection.
  • The platform is designed to facilitate collaboration between business users (no-code) and developers (high-code) in building and sharing agents.
