# Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform - Managed Agents API Skill

This skill provides complete instructions, REST request endpoints, and JSON payload structures to programmatically manage **custom Agent resources** on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (Agent Platform).

The **Managed Agents API** forms the **Control Plane** of the platform. It allows developers to provision, retrieve, update, and delete tailored, stateful agent containers equipped with system instructions, sandboxed files, custom skill registries, and local/remote tools.
## Attribution

**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read [Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md). For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix `gcloud` with
`CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gemini-agents-api)"`
and append `agent-skills/1.0 (skill:gemini-agents-api)` to `User-Agent` headers.

---

## 1. Authentication & Setup

All REST requests to the Control Plane must include a Bearer token derived from Application Default Credentials (ADC), and target the production global endpoint.

### 1. Setup Environment Variables

Before running requests, set up the required project variables and access token:

```bash
export PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"
export LOCATION="global"
export ACCESS_TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)
```
