Google has expanded the capabilities of Managed Agents in the Gemini API with features such as background execution and custom function calling, the company recently announced.
Vad har hänt
On 7 July 2026, Google announced that Managed Agents in the Gemini API now support background execution, remote connectivity to MCP (Managed Containers Platform) servers, custom function calling, and credential updates across interactions. These updates mean that long-running agent jobs can continue working even after the client connection has closed.

”Managed Agents in Gemini API now support background execution, remote MCP servers, custom function calling, and credential refresh across interactions.”
”For developers, the practical shift is that long-running agent jobs can keep working after the original client connection ends, reconnect to private tools through MCP, and preserve sandbox state while credentials are refreshed.”
Varför det spelar roll
The update transforms the functionality of Gemini agents from a simple request-response model into a more robust and dependable system. This assists developers by reducing the need for custom orchestration for long-running processes, particularly in coding, research, and enterprise automation where tasks often involve several steps and external services.
