Pepebot v0.5.7

🐸 Pepebot v0.5.6 - Google Vertex AI Support

Release Date: 2026-03-02

🎉 What's New

☁️ Google Vertex AI Provider

Pepebot now supports Google Cloud Vertex AI natively using service account credentials (no API key needed).

• Authenticate via service account JSON file (account_services.json)
• Configure credentials_file, project_id, and region
• Full Chat and Streaming support with Gemini models
• Tool calling (function declarations) fully supported
• Supports both regional and global endpoints

Quick Setup:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": "vertex/gemini-2.0-flash",
      "provider": "vertex"
    }
  },
  "providers": {
    "vertex": {
      "credentials_file": "~/.config/service-accounts.json",
      "project_id": "your-gcp-project-id",
      "region": "global"
    }
  }
}

Or via environment variables:

export PEPEBOT_PROVIDERS_VERTEX_CREDENTIALS_FILE=~/.config/service-accounts.json
export PEPEBOT_PROVIDERS_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-gcp-project-id
export PEPEBOT_PROVIDERS_VERTEX_REGION=global
export PEPEBOT_AGENTS_DEFAULTS_MODEL=vertex/gemini-2.0-flash

🎯 Explicit Provider Option

New optional provider field in agent config — override automatic provider detection from model name prefix.

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": "gemini-2.0-flash",
      "provider": "vertex"
    }
  }
}

Supported values: vertex, maiarouter, openrouter, anthropic, openai, gemini, zhipu, groq, vllm

Environment variable: PEPEBOT_AGENTS_DEFAULTS_PROVIDER

🤖 Better Multi-Agent Controls (manage_agent)

manage_agent is now more complete for agent lifecycle and delegation:

• remove action to delete an agent from registry (optional file cleanup with remove_files)
• call action to directly invoke another named agent and get its response
• assign_skill action to persist skill assignments into per-agent memory (<agent_dir>/memory/MEMORY.md)
• register now supports optional provider, so each agent can use different provider/model settings

Prompt behavior has also been tightened so normal requests like "panggil agent" are less likely to be misinterpreted as workflow creation.
