adk-tool

Tool system for Rust Agent Development Kit (ADK-Rust) agents (FunctionTool, MCP, Google Search).

Overview

adk-tool provides the tool infrastructure for the Rust Agent Development Kit (ADK-Rust):

FunctionTool - Create tools from async Rust functions
GoogleSearchTool - Web search via Gemini's grounding
McpToolset - Model Context Protocol integration
BasicToolset - Group multiple tools together
ExitLoopTool - Control flow for loop agents
LoadArtifactsTool - Inject binary artifacts into context

Installation

[dependencies]
adk-tool = "0.1.8"

Or use the meta-crate:

[dependencies]
adk-rust = { version = "0.1.8", features = ["tools"] }

Quick Start

Function Tool

use adk_tool::FunctionTool;
use serde_json::{json, Value};

async fn get_weather(ctx: Arc<dyn ToolContext>, args: Value) -> Result<Value> {
    let city = args["city"].as_str().unwrap_or("Unknown");
    Ok(json!({
        "city": city,
        "temperature": 72,
        "condition": "sunny"
    }))
}

let tool = FunctionTool::new(
    "get_weather",
    "Get current weather for a city",
    get_weather,
);

MCP Tools

use adk_tool::McpToolset;
use rmcp::{ServiceExt, transport::TokioChildProcess};

let client = ().serve(TokioChildProcess::new(
    Command::new("npx")
        .arg("-y")
        .arg("@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem")
        .arg("/path/to/files")
)?).await?;

let toolset = McpToolset::new(client)
    .with_filter(|name| matches!(name, "read_file" | "write_file"));

Google Search

use adk_tool::GoogleSearchTool;

let search = GoogleSearchTool::new();
// Add to agent - enables grounded web search

Features

Type-safe parameter schemas with schemars
Long-running tool support with progress tracking
MCP protocol for external tool integration
Tool filtering and composition
