Official product pageAvery Rulebook for Gemini agents
Google's Agent Development Kit and Agent Engine support agent construction, multi-agent orchestration, tools, evaluation, deployment and observability. Rulebook complements that stack with portable enterprise decisions and signed policy evidence.
The operating reality
The runtime compliance gate
Rulebook evaluates live context against the confirmed policy and regulatory rules that apply, then returns a decision the agent must follow.
Actor, purpose, data, jurisdiction and proposed action
Allow, deny, obligations or named human review
Evidence, rulebook version and signed decision trace
Architecture boundary
Build, evaluate, deploy and operate Gemini and framework-based agents using ADK and Vertex AI Agent Engine.
Official product pageCompile authoritative enterprise sources into a decision API that agents can call across Google Cloud and the broader estate.
Google's agent platform owns development, deployment, runtime security and observability. Rulebook owns the portable enterprise-policy artifact and decision receipt.
Why the gap persists
Cloud runtime governance does not encode every enterprise business rule.
Multi-agent systems can repeat policy logic across specialists and plugins.
Organizations need policy continuity across models, clouds and traditional applications.
Rulebook in the workflow
ADK agents collaborate, use tools and run on the chosen Google deployment surface.
An ADK tool or plugin calls Rulebook before a policy-relevant conclusion or action.
The Rulebook receipt is correlated with Agent Engine traces, logs and the downstream event.
Potential outcomes
Questions leaders ask
No. IAM, VPC controls, runtime identity and platform security remain essential. Rulebook evaluates the business policy those controls do not express.
Yes. A plugin or tool can invoke Rulebook at defined lifecycle points and attach the returned obligations and receipt to agent state.
