Tool Binding

Use GoogleADKToolBuilder to bind plain Python functions as tools to your Google ADK agents:

from google.adk.agents import Agent as ADKAgent
from agentkernel.adk import GoogleADKModule, GoogleADKToolBuilder

def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    """Returns the weather for a given city."""
    return f"Weather in {city}: sunny, 25°C"

agent = ADKAgent(
    name="weather",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash-exp",
    description="You provide weather information upon request",
    instruction="Use the get_weather tool for weather-related questions.",
    tools=GoogleADKToolBuilder.bind([get_weather]),
)

GoogleADKModule([agent])
