python/google-adk the sample is not working on agents playground

[TarunReddy-msft]

Description

• Attempted to run the Google ADK Python sample agent and test it using Agent Playground.

• The agent loads correctly in the Playground interface and accepts user input.

• However, after sending a message, the agent does not return any response.

• The chat UI works as expected:

  • Input box accepts messages
  • Messages appear in the conversation

• But the agent never generates or displays a reply.

• This appears to be related to the runtime execution of the Python sample agent, rather than the Agent Playground interface itself.

---

Expected Behavior

• After sending a message in Agent Playground (e.g., "Hi"), the agent should process the input and return a response.

---

Actual Behavior

• The message is accepted in the Playground interface.
• No response is generated or displayed from the agent.

---

Environment

• Runtime: Python
• OS: Windows 11
• Interface: Agent Playground

---

Steps to Reproduce

• Clone the Google ADK repository.
• Navigate to the Python sample agent.
• Create and activate a Python virtual environment.
• Install the required dependencies.
• Start the agent locally.
• Open Agent Playground.
• Select the Python sample agent.
• Send a message such as "Hi".
