Frequently asked questions
How do I check the status of a transcription job I just started?
Use the get_transcription tool with the Job ID. It will return the current status (queued, processing, done, or error) and the results if completed.
Can I automatically identify different speakers in a recording?
Yes! When using init_transcription, set the diarization parameter to true. The AI will then distinguish between different voices in the transcript.
How do I handle a local audio file that isn't online yet?
First, use the upload_audio_file tool by providing the base64 data and filename. This will give you an audio_url that you can then pass to init_transcription.
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.
