Questions buyers ask

Does Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform keep a registry of every agent?

Agent Registry catalogs agents, MCP servers, and tools, and operates at the Google Cloud project level.⁠Source 3, Source 4 Agents on supported Google Cloud runtimes can be registered automatically; agents in other projects, on premises, or on external platforms need manual registration.⁠Source 94, Source 95

How is Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform priced?

Agent Registry is free; skill scanning is billed from January 2027.⁠Source 96 Agent Runtime costs $0.085 per vCPU-hour and $0.009 per GiB-hour, with a monthly free tier.⁠Source 97 Agent Gateway egress costs $0.085 per 15,000 requests.⁠Source 97 Google says new customers get up to $300 in free credits.⁠Source 2

Can Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform manage agents that run outside Google Cloud?

Agents hosted outside Google Cloud can be listed in Agent Registry by manual registration.⁠Source 98 Google lists Agent Identity support for Agent Runtime, the Gemini Enterprise app, and Cloud Run, and Agent Gateway can govern traffic for agents on Agent Runtime and the Gemini Enterprise app.⁠Source 5, Source 6

How does Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform relate to the Gemini Enterprise app?

Google says Agent Platform is Google Cloud’s platform for developers to build, scale, govern, and optimize agents.⁠Source 2 Agents in Agent Registry can be made available to end users of Google’s separate Gemini Enterprise app.⁠Source 73 Agent Gateway governs only outbound traffic for agents in the app.⁠Source 5
