Gemini Managed Agents get remote MCP

Google has updated Gemini Managed Agents in the Gemini API, adding support for remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and long-running background tasks. The update also introduces custom function calling and persistent credential refreshing to help developers deploy stateful AI agents on Google's managed runtime.

// ANALYSIS

This update represents a major step toward making the Gemini API a fully fledged, stateful orchestration platform for agentic workflows rather than just a stateless inference endpoint.

* Remote MCP support lowers the barrier for securely connecting LLM agents to arbitrary backend services.

* Long-running background tasks are critical for autonomous operations like repository auditing, code generation, and complex data processing.

* Credential refreshing over long turns solves a major practical pain point for developers building interactive agent workflows.

* Custom function calling brings Google's platform up to parity with other sophisticated developer agent frameworks, keeping it highly competitive.

Cosmos integrates Datadog for automated triage

Cosmos, an agentic software development platform by Augment Code, has integrated with Datadog to automate the incident triage and remediation workflow. In a demonstration of the integration, Cosmos agents monitor and respond to Datadog alerts in real-time, executing sandboxed root-cause analysis, writing the necessary code fixes, and automatically generating GitHub pull requests to resolve bugs and keep systems operational.
