| 14 | +The [Google Cloud Parameter |
| 15 | +Manager](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/parameter-manager/docs/overview) |
| 16 | +integration provides a standard interface for Agent Development Kit (ADK) agents to connect with the Google Cloud Parameter Manager service |
| 17 | +and retrieve rendered parameter values at runtime. This module lets you use the |
| 18 | +Google Cloud Parameter Manager service as the single source of truth for agent instructions and tool |
| 19 | +configurations. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Use cases |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The Parameter Manager integration supports several operations: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +* **Dynamic instruction updates**: You can publish parameters instantly to |
| 26 | + defend against prompt injection attacks, update mandatory disclaimer |
| 27 | + resources, or automatically adjust the agent tone without a full code |
| 28 | + redeployment. |
| 29 | +* **Feature flag and parameter management**: You can store configurations as a |
| 30 | + JSON payload and retrieve them through the tool context to lower query rates |
| 31 | + or switch between experimental and production API endpoints. |
| 32 | +* **Accuracy improvement with input and output pairs**: You can store few-shot |
| 33 | + examples as YAML files and load them into the session state to improve agent |
| 34 | + performance over time. |
| 35 | +* **Just-in-time tool authorization**: You can load secrets into memory on |
| 36 | + demand rather than using insecure static API keys in initialization code. |
| 37 | +* **Secure multi-tenant workflows**: You can store Parameter Manager IDs that |
| 38 | + map to users and use callbacks to rehydrate the session state with resolved |
| 39 | + OAuth tokens. |
| 40 | +* **Encrypted system tasks**: You can prevent primary database passwords from |
| 41 | + entering the large language model (LLM) conversation history during |
| 42 | + background polling tasks. |
| 43 | +* **Multi-region deployments**: You can maintain shared logic across global |
| 44 | + deployments while using regional Parameter Manager overrides to apply local |
| 45 | + currency and contact information. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Prerequisites |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +You must meet the following requirements before you configure the integration: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- **Required Software Versions**: ADK Python version v1.30.0 or higher |
| 52 | +- **Required Accounts / APIs**: A [Google Cloud Project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-projects) with the [**Parameter Manager API**](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/parameter-manager/docs/prepare-environment#enable_api), [**Secret Manager API**](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/configuring-secret-manager), and **Agent Development Kit API** enabled. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Complete the following setup steps: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. [Set up an agent with ADK](/get-started/). |
| 57 | +1. [Create a parameter](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/parameter-manager/docs/create-parameter). |
| 58 | +1. Grant the [Parameter Manager Parameter Accessor](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/parametermanager#parametermanager.parameterAccessor) role |
| 59 | + (`roles/parametermanager.parameterAccessor`) |
| 60 | + IAM role to your agent identity. This role allows your agent to render the parameter configuration at runtime. |
| 61 | +1. If your parameter contains embedded secrets, grant the [Secret Manager Secret Accessor](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/secretmanager#secretmanager.secretAccessor) role (`roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor`) to your parameter resource. This cross-service permission allows Parameter Manager to resolve the referenced secrets on behalf of the agent. For more information, [Grant the Secret Manager Secret Accessor role to the parameter](https://docs.cloud.google.com/secret-manager/parameter-manager/docs/reference-secrets-in-parameter#grant_the_secret_manager_secret_accessor_role_to_the_parameter). |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Installation |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Install the ADK extensions package to enable the Parameter Manager integration: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +```bash |
| 68 | +pip install "google-adk[extensions]" |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Use with agent |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +The following examples show complete, working code to retrieve a parameter |
| 74 | +securely within an ADK agent using either global or regional endpoints. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Global parameters |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +```python |

| 130 | +parameter_id = os.environ.get("ADK_TEST_PARAMETER_ID") |
| 131 | +parameter_version = os.environ.get("ADK_TEST_PARAMETER_VERSION", "latest") |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +if not project_id or not location or not parameter_id: |
| 134 | + raise ValueError("GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_LOCATION, and ADK_TEST_PARAMETER_ID environment variables must be set.") |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +resource_name = f"projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}/parameters/{parameter_id}/versions/{parameter_version}" |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +print(f"Fetching parameter from regional Parameter Manager ({location})...") |
| 139 | +# Initialize Parameter Manager Client (Regional) |
| 140 | +client = ParameterManagerClient(location=location) |

| 146 | +except Exception as e: |
| 147 | + print(f"Error fetching parameter: {e}") |
| 148 | + raise e |
