Google Adds Token Budget Caps and Gemini 3.6 Flash Defaults to Managed Agents API
Google has expanded the Gemini Managed Agents API with token budget caps and sandbox environment hooks, enabling developers to set strict execution limits for artificial intelligence models running in remote workspaces. The update establishes Gemini 3.6 Flash as the default model and adds pre- and post-tool execution controls to prevent runaway computational loops.
Additional features include remote cron-scheduled triggers for automated agent calls and the launch of a Gemini API free tier. The rollout follows recent updates focused on model customization and sandbox security within the Gemini ecosystem.
