Agent does not return a response when query takes too long

[leebaro]

Hello.

I used the data science agent from the following adk-sample to query data from a database:
https://github.com/google/adk-samples/tree/main/python/agents/data-science

From my observation, when I send a query that takes a long time to process, the agent starts running but does not provide any answer.

Instead of asking the same question again, when I simply request “Please give me the answer,” the agent responds without querying the database.

In summary, it seems that when the query takes too long, the agent ends its turn without returning an answer.

How can I resolve this issue when it happens?

Would using LongRunningFunctionTool help? If so, an example would be very helpful.

Did it give you the correct answer when you asked later, or it simply hallucinated?

[leebaro]

It gives me the correct answer.

We have discovered an issue in the ADK on handling results from an agent tool. #2745

Please try once this fix hit release (sometime next week). Or you can try using the ADK from GitHub source.

Please let me know if this fix works for you. Thanks!

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

@leebaro can you please verify if the change indeed fixes the issue you saw.

The fix was release last week (https://github.com/google/adk-python/releases/tag/v1.13.0)

For now, I am going to optimistically close this issue. Please, re-open it if you continue to face the problem.
