(Vertex-only params such as labels on an API-key client) ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK request converters reject fields that the selected backend does not support. Since 1.74.0 the message says "Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform" (Vertex AI rebrand) instead of "Vertex AI". Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Searching for "Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform" as a separate product: it is the renamed Vertex AI backend (vertexai=True). Limitations: - Derived from SDK source code on main (v2.25.0, 2026-09-22); no issue thread read for this string. Unknowns: - Exact pre-1.74 wording not verified verbatim. Other error fragments: - labels parameter is only supported in Gemini Developer API mode, not in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode. - This method is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode. - This method is only supported in Gemini Developer API mode, not in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/blob/main/google/genai/models.py (official_docs, 2026-09-22, documented_behavior): Converters raise ValueError(" parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.") for ~39 fields (labels, audio_timestamp, mask, output_gcs_uri, ...). - https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-04-29, documented_behavior): 1.74.0 (2026-04-29) docs: error messages updated to replace Vertex AI with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (method errors say "previously known as Vertex AI"). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/_live_converters.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Live converters raise ValueError 'labels parameter is only supported in Gemini Developer API mode, not in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode.' - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/documents.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): documents.py raises ValueError 'This method is only supported in Gemini Developer API mode, not in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode.'
