Expanding Managed Agents in Gemini API: background tasks, remote MCP and more

Google has introduced new features to its Gemini API managed agents, including support for background tasks and remote Model Context Protocol servers. These updates allow developers to build AI agents capable of executing multi-step processes and interacting with external data sources more reliably. By integrating these capabilities directly into the API, Google is simplifying the deployment of autonomous workflows that can operate independently of a user’s immediate session.
