Agents CLI in Agent Platform: create to production in one CLI

AI agents are evolving from experimental scripts to production-ready services, yet the infrastructure supporting their development remains fragmented, causing inefficiencies for developers and coding assistants. Google Cloud's newly introduced Agents CLI within the Agent Platform aims to streamline the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) by providing a cohesive programmatic framework for AI coding agents like Gemini CLI and Claude Code. This tool facilitates the seamless integration of cloud components, allowing developers to efficiently scaffold, simulate, and evaluate AI projects with machine-readable inputs and API references. By using Agents CLI, developers can rapidly transition from local prototypes to globally distributed services through automated deployment processes, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines. The CLI supports both agent-driven and human-driven modes, enabling developers to maintain control while benefiting from the efficiency of AI. Users are encouraged to explore the platform's documentation and community resources to harness the potential of their AI assistants in building the next generation of production-grade AI systems.
