Tutorial 27: Third-Party Framework Tools Integration

Goal: Integrate tools from LangChain and CrewAI frameworks into ADK agents

Prerequisites:

Tutorial 01 (Hello World Agent)
Tutorial 02 (Function Tools)
Basic Python package management

What You'll Learn:

✅ How to use LangchainTool wrapper for LangChain tools
✅ How to integrate CrewAI tools with custom function wrappers
✅ Proper import paths (google.adk.tools.langchain_tool)
✅ Multi-framework agent development (LangChain + CrewAI)
✅ Tool selection and orchestration
✅ No API keys required for basic functionality

Source: ADK Third-Party Tools Documentation

Status: ✅ WORKING IMPLEMENTATION - All tools demonstrated with no API keys required

Why Integrate Third-Party Tools?

The Problem: Building every tool from scratch is time-consuming and limits functionality.

The Solution: Leverage existing tool ecosystems from mature AI frameworks while maintaining ADK's agent orchestration capabilities.

What You Get:

LangChain: 100+ tools (search, APIs, databases, etc.) via LangchainTool wrapper
CrewAI: 20+ tools (web scraping, file operations, etc.) via custom function wrappers
Multi-framework agents: Combine tools from different frameworks in single agents
No API keys required: Start with public APIs and tools that work immediately
Extensible: Add API-key-based tools as needed for enhanced functionality

Integration Approaches:

Approach	Level	Use Case	Implementation
LangchainTool	Individual tools	"I need Wikipedia search in my ADK agent"	✅ Working
CrewAI Functions	Individual tools	"I need file system tools in my ADK agent"	✅ Working
AG-UI Protocol	Framework-level	"I want LangGraph agents to talk to ADK agents"	📝 Future

3. AG-UI Protocol Integration

AG-UI Protocol enables framework-level integration between ADK and other AI frameworks.

What is AG-UI?

AG-UI (Agent-UI Protocol) is an open, event-based standard for agent-human interaction.

Architecture:

AG-UI Event Types

16 core event types standardize agent-UI communication:

Run Management:

RUN_STARTED - Agent run begins
RUN_FINISHED - Agent run completes
RUN_FAILED - Agent run errors

Messages:

TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT - Text output from agent
IMAGE_CONTENT - Image generated/processed
FILE_CONTENT - File operations

Tool Execution:

TOOL_CALL_START - Tool invocation begins
TOOL_CALL_RESULT - Tool returns result
TOOL_CALL_FAILED - Tool execution error

Thinking:

THINKING_START - Agent reasoning begins
THINKING_CONTENT - Reasoning steps
THINKING_END - Reasoning complete

Artifacts:

ARTIFACT_CREATED - New artifact generated
ARTIFACT_UPDATED - Artifact modified
ARTIFACT_DELETED - Artifact removed

User Input:

USER_INPUT_REQUESTED - Agent asks for input

Supported Frameworks

AG-UI compatible frameworks:

✅ Google ADK (native support)
✅ LangGraph (via adapter)
✅ CrewAI (via adapter)
✅ LangChain (via adapter)
✅ Mastra (native support)
✅ Pydantic AI (via adapter)
✅ LlamaIndex (via adapter)
✅ AG2 (formerly AutoGen, via adapter)

Benefits of AG-UI Protocol

For Developers:

✅ Use best tool from any framework
✅ Switch frameworks without changing UI
✅ Mix ADK agents with LangGraph/CrewAI agents
✅ Standardized event handling

For Users:

✅ Consistent UI experience across frameworks
✅ Better observability (standardized events)
✅ Framework-agnostic frontends

For Organizations:

✅ Avoid framework lock-in
✅ Reuse UI investments
✅ Easier agent migration

4. Choosing Integration Approach

Decision Matrix

Scenario	Use LangchainTool	Use CrewaiTool	Use AG-UI Protocol
Need one specific tool (e.g., Tavily search)	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ Overkill
Already using LangChain ecosystem	✅ Yes	❌ No	🤔 Maybe
Need CrewAI's specialized tools	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ Overkill
Building multi-framework system	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes
Want framework-agnostic UI	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes
Need agent-to-agent communication	🤔 Possible	🤔 Possible	✅ Ideal
Prototyping quickly	✅ Fast	✅ Fast	❌ Complex
Enterprise production	🤔 Maybe	🤔 Maybe	✅ Yes

Best Practices

✅ DO:

Start simple: Use LangchainTool/CrewaiTool for individual tools
Add only needed dependencies: Don't install entire frameworks for one tool
Test thoroughly: Third-party tools may have different error handling
Document API keys: Note which tools need what credentials
Handle tool failures: Wrap calls in try-except
Use AG-UI for complex multi-framework systems

❌ DON'T:

Mix tool-level and protocol-level integration unnecessarily
Forget name and description for CrewaiTool
Assume tool behavior matches ADK patterns
Ignore dependency conflicts
Use heavyweight tools for simple tasks
Over-engineer with AG-UI for single-framework projects

5. Real-World Example: Research Agent with Multiple Tools

Scenario: Build a comprehensive research agent using tools from multiple sources.

- Wikipedia: Encyclopedic knowledge and background
- Arxiv: Scientific papers and research

**Analysis Tools**:
- Website Scraper: Deep dive into specific pages
- Report Generator: Save findings to files

**Research Process**:
1. Start with Tavily for current information
2. Use Wikipedia for background/context
3. Check Arxiv for academic research
4. Use Serper if need more search coverage
5. Scrape key websites for detailed analysis
6. Synthesize findings into comprehensive report
7. Save report to file

**Quality Standards**:
- Cite all sources with URLs
- Cross-reference multiple sources
- Note publication dates (currency matters!)
- Distinguish facts from opinions
- Acknowledge information gaps
- Provide balanced perspectives

6. Troubleshooting

LangChain Integration Issues

Error: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'langchain_community'"

pip install langchain-community

Error: "Tool execution failed"

Check environment variables:

import os
print(os.environ.get('TAVILY_API_KEY'))  # Should not be None

Error: "Rate limit exceeded"

Most search APIs have rate limits. Add delays:

import time
time.sleep(1)  # Between searches

CrewAI Integration Issues

Error: "CrewaiTool missing required arguments"

Fix: Always provide name and description:

# ❌ WRONG
tool = CrewaiTool(tool=serper_tool)

# ✅ CORRECT
tool = CrewaiTool(
    tool=serper_tool,
    name='serper_search',
    description='Search Google for information'
)

Error: "Tool not found in CrewAI"

Ensure correct package:

pip install crewai-tools  # Not just 'crewai'

Dependency Conflicts

Issue: LangChain and CrewAI may have conflicting dependencies.

Solution: Use virtual environments:

# Create isolated environment
python -m venv adk_env
source adk_env/bin/activate  # or `adk_env\Scripts\activate` on Windows

# Install only what you need
pip install google-adk
pip install langchain-community  # Only if using LangChain tools
pip install crewai-tools        # Only if using CrewAI tools

Summary

You've learned how to integrate tools from LangChain, CrewAI, and other frameworks into ADK agents:

Key Takeaways:

✅ LangchainTool wrapper provides access to 100+ LangChain tools
✅ CrewaiTool wrapper provides access to 20+ CrewAI tools
✅ CrewAI tools require name and description parameters
✅ AG-UI Protocol enables framework-level integration
✅ Choose tool-level integration for simple cases, protocol-level for complex systems
✅ Popular tools: Tavily (web search), Serper (Google search), Wikipedia, Arxiv
✅ Can combine tools from multiple frameworks in single agent
✅ Always handle third-party tool errors gracefully
✅ Environment variables needed for API keys (TAVILY_API_KEY, SERPER_API_KEY, etc.)

When to Use Each:

Tool	Best For
Tavily (LangChain)	Real-time web search optimized for AI
Serper (CrewAI)	Google search, news, images
Wikipedia (LangChain)	Background knowledge, definitions
Arxiv (LangChain)	Academic papers, research
ScrapeWebsite (CrewAI)	Detailed page analysis
PythonREPL (LangChain)	Code execution
AG-UI Protocol	Multi-framework agent systems

Production Checklist:

Next Steps:

Tutorial 28: Use other LLMs with LiteLLM (OpenAI, Claude, Ollama)
Tutorial 26: Deploy agents to Google AgentSpace
Tutorial 19: Implement Artifacts & File Management
Tutorial 18: Master Events & Observability

Resources:

Congratulations! You can now leverage 100+ tools from LangChain and CrewAI in your ADK agents, and understand when to use tool-level vs. protocol-level integration.
