Agent Service and Chat Service

[kanlanc]

Hello everyone,

I have a chat service and an Agent service (ADK)

Right now, the chat is hooked with a simple GPT-4O to get specific inputs from the user which then im adding to the session as inputs for agent service to execute.

Sometimes the inputs come up while executing and I want to ask if there is a way to more tightly integrate these two services. specfically if there is a way if in the middle of execution the agent from ADK needs more input and can hit up the chat service to request the user for more info

Does Long running tool works here? https://google.github.io/adk-docs/tools/function-tools/#2-long-running-function-tool

Interesting, to make sure I'm understanding right,

Have a long function tool running in agent service that pings the chat service which then prompts the user to send some info?

But how would this information be related back to agent service? Any suggestions?
