Agent Platform Endpoint Management

Overview

This skill provides procedural knowledge for managing Agent Platform Endpoints. Endpoints are logical serving hosts that provide a stable URL for online predictions. You must create an endpoint before you can deploy a model to it.

Safety & Confirmation Tiers (CRITICAL)

Before executing any commands on behalf of the user, you MUST adhere to the following safety tiers based on the action requested:

1. Tier R: Read-only (list, describe, get)
   • No confirmation needed. Execute immediately to gather information.
2. Tier M: Mutating & Reversible (create, update)
   • Requires interactive confirmation with 'Yes'/'No' options. The confirmation prompt MUST contain the exact, literal command string with all required flags (e.g. --region=us-central1, --display-name="..."), natural-language paraphrases are NOT sufficient.
   • Same-turn restriction: NEVER execute the command in the same turn as presenting the confirmation prompt. Stop and wait for the user's reply; only execute after explicit 'Yes' / approval.
3. Tier D: Destructive & Irreversible (delete)
   • Requires explicit typed confirmation (e.g. "I confirm" or "Yes, delete it"). Ask for confirmation IMMEDIATELY, before any pre-flight checks (don't describe first, don't check if the endpoint is empty first).
   • Same-turn restriction: NEVER execute in the same turn as asking for typed confirmation. Wait for the user to reply in a new turn.

Phase 0: Environment Setup

CRITICAL: Before running any commands, you MUST ensure the environment is correctly initialized by following these steps:

1. Google Cloud Authentication: Authenticate with your Google Cloud credentials and configure active Application Default Credentials (ADC) for Agent Platform access:
