Google’s new agent security system detects tool misuse, loops and rogue behavior

Google introduced Agent Anomaly Detection, a security layer for autonomous agents running on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform that evaluates agent behavior to identify tool misuse, infinite loops, and rogue actions. The system is available in Private Preview and requires Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Python 1.2 or later, with version 2.1.0 or later recommended.

Why it matters: Development teams deploying autonomous agents on Google Cloud need to evaluate this oversight capability to prevent agents from misusing APIs, consuming excessive resources through loops, or acting outside their designed scope.
