4. Extending Your Agent for New Challenges
As game worlds become more complex, you may encounter puzzles or mechanics that a generic set of API calls cannot solve. Level 2 of the adventure introduces such a challenge, requiring a custom tool to overcome.
Tackling Level 2
Level 2 features a new kind of puzzle that can't be solved by a large language model without additional tools.
You can create custom tools to handle specific logic. With the ADK, you can define these tools as Python functions.
- Read the Guide: Read the tutorial at Adding a tool to your ADK agent. This guide explains the process of creating a custom tool, defining its inputs and outputs, and giving it a clear description so the agent understands how and when to use it.
- Implement the Tool: Once you discover what logic you need to implement, write the Python code for your new tool. This tool contains the specific logic needed to solve the new puzzle in Level 2.
Restart and Solve Level 2
With its new, extended capabilities, your agent is now ready to take on Level 2. Restart the ADK Development Web UI to reload your agent and watch as it solves the level.
Next Steps
You have successfully built an autonomous agent that can not only explore and interact with a digital world but you can also extend it with new abilities to overcome novel challenges. The final step is to deploy your agent to the cloud.
