Cause (Documented platform behavior): _raise_for_unsupported_mldev_properties raises for additionalProperties when not in Vertex (Agent Platform) mode; response_schema is converted to the OpenAPI-style Schema type.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- The error message contains a doubled comma exactly as in source.
- Server-side acceptance of additionalProperties via response_json_schema depends on model; not verified here.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/_transformers.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): _raise_for_unsupported_mldev_properties raises ValueError when additionalProperties is set and client is not vertexai; called at the start of process_schema.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): README shows response_json_schema accepting a raw JSON schema or Pydantic model_json_schema() as an alternative to response_schema.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Client-side ValueError before any request is sent when a schema contains additionalProperties (e.g. Pydantic dict fields) and the client is in Gemini Developer API (API key) mode; same schema works with vertexai=True.
- Context
- Product: Google Gen AI Python SDK Component: _transformers.process_schema (response_schema / tool parameters) Operation: generate_content with response_schema (Pydantic model with dict[str, X] fields or explicit additionalProperties) using an API key client Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: ValueError Packages: google-genai checked at 2.25.0 (6d01288) Trigger: process_schema() sees a truthy additionalProperties/additional_properties on any (sub)schema while client.vertexai is False.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [google-genai Python] ValueError 'additionalProperties is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, , not in Gemini Developer API mode.' for response_schema/Pydantic dict
Recommended action: Pass the JSON schema via response_json_schema (config) instead of response_schema, avoid dict-typed fields, or use a Vertex AI client.
Option: Use response_json_schema [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. config={'response_mime_type':'application/json','response_json_schema': Model.model_json_schema()}
Expected: Error no longer occurs
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
