An HR onboarding coordinator checks contract status before preparing an invitation. Unlike a text-only chatbot, an agent can request tools, inspect results and choose a next action within defined permissions.
Fictional HR records and a scripted workflow. No Gemini calls, Google Cloud resources, real email or charges from this page.
Action summaries below are scripted public events, not private model reasoning. The Python agent uses Gemini to choose tools.
Request: onboard Alex Chen for 2026-11-01.
Status: READY · Simulated invitations: 0 · Real emails: 0
STEP 1 / 6
An HR onboarding coordinator checks a signed contract before preparing a welcome invitation. Separate read tools, draft tools and externally visible actions. Treat retrieved text and tool output as data, not instructions.
Install with python -m pip install google-adk. Set ADK_MODEL to a currently supported model before running. Gemini calls require your own authenticated environment; the tools below only read fixtures and prepare drafts.

The uploaded sample is adapted to the documented Google ADK API. No unverified model ID, guaranteed autonomy or automatic long-running checkpoint claims. Authentication, authorization, approval enforcement and an email provider are intentionally not represented as completed by this draft-only example.
