Is there a way to run AgentEvaluator without google auth?

[mutaphore]

I am running python -m pytest eval like the sample agents are showing, running google-adk==1.0.0, but this error returns seems like a google auth is required? I am running my own hosted model locally and not using gcloud:

        """Gets the default credentials for the current environment.

        `Application Default Credentials`_ provides an easy way to obtain
        credentials to call Google APIs for server-to-server or local applications.
        This function acquires credentials from the environment in the following
        order:

        1. If the environment variable ``GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`` is set
           to the path of a valid service account JSON private key file, then it is
           loaded and returned. The project ID returned is the project ID defined
           in the service account file if available (some older files do not
           contain project ID information).

           If the environment variable is set to the path of a valid external
           account JSON configuration file (workload identity federation), then the
           configuration file is used to determine and retrieve the external
           credentials from the current environment (AWS, Azure, etc).
           These will then be exchanged for Google access tokens via the Google STS
           endpoint.
           The project ID returned in this case is the one corresponding to the
           underlying workload identity pool resource if determinable.

           If the environment variable is set to the path of a valid GDCH service
           account JSON file (`Google Distributed Cloud Hosted`_), then a GDCH
           credential will be returned. The project ID returned is the project
           specified in the JSON file.
        2. If the `Google Cloud SDK`_ is installed and has application default
           credentials set they are loaded and returned.

           To enable application default credentials with the Cloud SDK run::

                gcloud auth application-default login

           If the Cloud SDK has an active project, the project ID is returned. The
           active project can be set using::

                gcloud config set project

        3. If the application is running in the `App Engine standard environment`_
           (first generation) then the credentials and project ID from the
           `App Identity Service`_ are used.
        4. If the application is running in `Compute Engine`_ or `Cloud Run`_ or
           the `App Engine flexible environment`_ or the `App Engine standard
           environment`_ (second generation) then the credentials and project ID
           are obtained from the `Metadata Service`_.
        5. If no credentials are found,
           :class:`~google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError` will be raised.

        Example::

            import google.auth

            credentials, project_id = google.auth.default()

        Args:
            scopes (Sequence[str]): The list of scopes for the credentials. If
                specified, the credentials will automatically be scoped if
                necessary.
            request (Optional[google.auth.transport.Request]): An object used to make
                HTTP requests. This is used to either detect whether the application
                is running on Compute Engine or to determine the associated project
                ID for a workload identity pool resource (external account
                credentials). If not specified, then it will either use the standard
                library http client to make requests for Compute Engine credentials
                or a google.auth.transport.requests.Request client for external
                account credentials.
            quota_project_id (Optional[str]): The project ID used for
                quota and billing.
            default_scopes (Optional[Sequence[str]]): Default scopes passed by a
                Google client library. Use 'scopes' for user-defined scopes.
        Returns:
            Tuple[~google.auth.credentials.Credentials, Optional[str]]:
                the current environment's credentials and project ID. Project ID
                may be None, which indicates that the Project ID could not be
                ascertained from the environment.

        Raises:
            ~google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError:
                If no credentials were found, or if the credentials found were

This is useful, and connecting to GCP seems like it should be opt-in and not required?
