Great news for developers managing Vertex AI Agents: the status property of GoogleCloudAiplatformV1Agent and the state property within GoogleCloudAiplatformV1AgentStatus are no longer read-only. This change rolls back a recent restriction (from 2026-11-06), giving you back control to modify these critical agent lifecycle fields.
In parallel, a significant number of operations.get methods across various Vertex AI resources (including customJobs, datasets, models, pipelineJobs, and many more) have expanded their OAuth scope requirements. They now accept https://www.googleapis.com/auth/discoveryengine.assist.readwrite and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/discoveryengine.serving.readwrite. These new scopes enable broader interaction with Discovery Engine products such as Agentspace, Vertex AI Search, and NotebookLM Enterprise, paving the way for more integrated AI solutions.
