1. Google Expands Gemini API Managed Agents With 3.6 Flash and Hooks

Google expanded Managed Agents in the Gemini API, which now default to Gemini 3.6 Flash with no code changes required and optional access to Gemini 3.5 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite. New environment hooks let developers block, lint, or audit tool calls inside the sandbox through pre- and post-execution handlers, while budget controls via max_total_tokens and scheduled triggers help manage cost and recurring automation. For developers, these additions make Managed Agents more production-ready with granular control over agent behavior and spend. Source
