Can I see the code a candidate wrote in a pad through the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_pad_session_details` tool with the pad ID. The agent will return the current `contents` of the pad, allowing you to review the code without opening your browser.

How do I check the full event log for an interview session?

Use the `get_pad_event_log` tool. Your agent will fetch a play-by-play history of all actions in the pad, which is useful for auditing the candidate's process and execution steps.

Where do I find my CoderPad API Key?

Log in to CoderPad, navigate to **Settings**, and select **API**. You can generate and copy your API key from that section.

CoderPad + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating CoderPad MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
