Changelog

Improvements

• Faster agent runs with many tools: Tool schemas are now derived once and cached across runs, cutting per-run overhead for agents that carry large toolkits. (#9771)
• Faster long conversations: Session history is loaded incrementally per turn, so response time stays flat as a conversation grows instead of scaling with its length. (#9775)
• PubMed request timeout: PubmedTools now accepts a timeout and passes it to both NCBI E-utilities requests, so a stalled PubMed response cannot hold a tool call indefinitely. (#9463)

Bug Fixes

• Strict-mode tool schemas without properties: Function.process_schema_for_strict no longer raises KeyError on schemas that omit properties (for example MCP server schemas registered verbatim). (#9578, fixes #9409)
• Gemini tool-result media: Images and document blobs returned from tools are now nested inside FunctionResponse.parts for Gemini 3 and later models instead of being emitted as sibling inline_data parts; legacy models keep the previous representation. URI-backed response media on Vertex AI is only sent when the MIME type is supported. (#9647)
• Location lookup on core-only installs: agno.utils.location used the undeclared requests package, so add_location_to_context=True raised ModuleNotFoundError without extras installed. It now uses httpx. (#9793, fixes #9772)
• ScheduleManager cleanup: close() tolerates a partially constructed manager (for example after a failed deepcopy), so garbage collection no longer raises AttributeError on a missing _pool. (#9792)

Cookbooks

• Added a deterministic side-effect approval flow example. (#9790)
• Added DeepKeep AI Firewall guardrails example. (#9784)
• Documented AgentOS team run states. (#9768)
• Added a Peer Cash MCP agent example. (#9562)
• Fixed stale cookbook paths left over from the directory renumber and in the MCP examples. (#9789, #9783)
