Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK introspects bound method signatures to build operation schemas; missing self shifts parameters and fails validation, and at least one supported method is required.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- This might be due to a missing `self` argument in the agent_engine.query method.
- has none of the following callable methods: `query`, `async_query`, `stream_query`, `async_stream_query`, `bidi_stream_query`, or `register_operations`.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Deploying a custom agent class fails during schema generation.
- Context
- Product: Vertex AI SDK for Python (google-cloud-aiplatform) Component: vertexai agent_engines operation registration Operation: agent_engines.create(agent) with a custom agent class Affected versions: observed in google-cloud-aiplatform 2.2.0 source; introduction version unknown Environment: unknown Exception: ValueError, TypeError Packages: google-cloud-aiplatform source at 2.2.0 (main 6da2b9b) Trigger: Custom agent class defines query/stream_query as functions without self (or staticmethod) or defines none of the supported methods.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Vertex AI Agent Engine] 'Invalid query signature. This might be due to a missing `self` argument' / 'has none of the following callable methods: `query`, ...'
Recommended action: Define query/stream_query/async variants as instance methods with self and typed parameters, or implement register_operations.
Option: Fix method signatures [evidence: documented_workaround]
Steps:
1. class MyAgent:
def query(self, *, input: str) -> dict: ...
2. Annotate parameter types
Expected: Schema generation succeeds
