AttributeError: module 'multi_tool_agent.agent' has no attribute 'root_agent'

[Harshith-techo]

as of yet, the root agent should be named as root_agent, there's something wrong with the sample codes that google have documented. That's how I was able to rectify this issue.

[seanmwalker]

I found this solution noted above to resolve the issue as well.

[seanmwalker]

I've opened a PR to help with this documentation in the adk-docs repo:

google/adk-docs#42

[ub1979]

I did what you said and now i am getting this error

"cannot import name 'root_agent' from 'multi_tool_agent.agent' (/Users/u/funcoding/adk/multi_tool_agent/agent.py)"

[seanmwalker]

In the screen shot it looks like you have one called agent_ollama_gemma. the agent variable you reference in the init.py file needs to have the same name as the agent.py file has.

In the sample app that we were using, the exported agent was called root_agent. In your case it looks to be agent_ollama_gemma, unless you have another agent you are trying to use.

Thanks its working now :) , one more Question , why its soo slow , like i am running it on my M4 Pro mac book , i am running small model to test , and its taking ages to reply ? is it common ? is there a way to make it respond fast ?

[seanmwalker]

I haven't run your model so I can't say. I have noted the configuration and driver setup on a machine can impact how it uses your GPU or only runs on CPU. You can try searching for how to optimize running local models. https://www.arsturn.com/blog/tips-for-speeding-up-ollama-performance may help. Otherwise look at the other notes on ollama's site for help.

I think the original issue is resolved. Closing now. Feel free to re-open.

I'm getting a circular import error in this which is strange. Any idea what could be wrong?

I fixed the circular import by using an absolute import:

from src.agent import root_agent

Instead of a relative import:

from . import root_agent

Note that my agent.py is inside the src/ folder in my repo root.
