Challenge

Build an Embedded Payments Payload Validator with Google ADK

Embedded payment APIs handling complex enterprise B2B disbursements face severe schema mutation and payload injection risks. Build a Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) agent that parses, validates, and sanitizes complex embedded payment JSON payloads with 99.5% schema enforcement.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Utilize Google ADK framework to construct an embedded payment payload validator and schema security proxy for B2B financial integrations.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates schema enforcement accuracy and malicious payload containment precision.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

injection_rejection_test

Must reject payloads containing SQL injection patterns.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

schema_enforcement_accuracy

Accuracy score across test payment schemas. • target: 0.995 • range: 0.95-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Deploy Google ADK validation agents for embedded payments

  • Implement multi-stage dynamic schema verification on enterprise payment calls
