ADK Import Paths Quick Reference

📋 Agent Verification Checklist (Imports)

Use this checklist to ensure you are using the most idiomatic import paths:

Canonical Imports: Did you use the short canonical imports where available (e.g., from google.adk import Agent) instead of the verbose ones?
Avoid Deprecated: Are you avoiding deprecated paths (e.g., use McpToolset instead of MCPToolset)?

Canonical Imports (preferred, used by all samples)
