# Managed Agent — Single-Turn Sub-Agent (Tool) Flow
|
|
|
|
> For setup, authentication, backends, and background on `ManagedAgent`, see the
|
|
> [ManagedAgent guide](../../../../docs/guides/agents/managed_agent/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This sample shows a local `LlmAgent` coordinator that calls two server-backed
|
|
`ManagedAgent` specialists as single-turn sub-agents (`mode='single_turn'`).
|
|
ADK auto-exposes each single-turn sub-agent to the coordinator as an inline tool.
|
|
The coordinator calls a specialist, receives the result, and may call several
|
|
specialists in one turn before composing the final answer itself.
|
|
|
|
A single-turn sub-agent's internal events (e.g. tool calls) are preserved in the
|
|
shared session history.
|
|
|
|
The two specialists are:
|
|
|
|
- `managed_search_agent` — a `ManagedAgent` with the server-side `google_search`
|
|
tool, for questions that require web search results.
|
|
- `managed_code_execution_agent` — a `ManagedAgent` with server-side code
|
|
execution, for questions that require computation.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> Each `ManagedAgent` sets a `description`; ADK builds the tool declaration from
|
|
> it, so a missing description makes tool selection unreliable.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> Each single-turn call is stateless and isolated, so the coordinator should
|
|
> pass a self-contained request to each specialist (do not rely on a specialist
|
|
> remembering a previous call).
|
|
|
|
## Sample Inputs
|
|
|
|
- `What was the score of the most recent FIFA World Cup final?`
|
|
|
|
Requires web search results — the coordinator calls `managed_search_agent`.
|
|
|
|
- `What's the 30th Fibonacci number? Use code.`
|
|
|
|
Requires computation — the coordinator calls `managed_code_execution_agent`
|
|
(answer: 832040).
|
|
|
|
- `Look up the height of Mount Everest in meters, then use code to convert it to feet.`
|
|
|
|
The coordinator calls both specialists in one turn (search for the height,
|
|
then code to multiply by 3.28084) and composes a single answer.
|
|

|
|
## How To
|
|
|
|
- Coordinator: an `LlmAgent` with a non-empty `sub_agents` list of single-turn
|
|
specialists.
|
|
- Specialists: each is a `ManagedAgent` with `mode='single_turn'`, an
|
|
`agent_id`, an `environment` spec, server-side `tools`, and a `description`
|
|
used for tool selection.
|
|
- Delegation: ADK exposes each single-turn specialist as an inline tool; the
|
|
coordinator calls it, gets the result, and keeps control of the turn.
