Using hasattr(request, "session") is a good first step, but it's not entirely safe. It's possible for a different Request implementation to have a session attribute that isn't a requests.Session object. This could lead to an AttributeError later when request.session.mount is called.

A more robust approach is to explicitly check if request is an instance of google.auth.transport.requests.Request. This ensures you're working with the correct object type and avoids potential issues with incompatible session attributes.

Suggested change
if use_mtls and hasattr(request, "session"):
# Ensure the request has a session to mount the adapter to.
if not request.session:
request.session = requests.Session()
if use_mtls:
# Only modify the request if it's a requests-based transport.
from google.auth.transport import requests as auth_requests
if isinstance(request, auth_requests.Request):
# Ensure the request has a session to mount the adapter to.
if not request.session:
request.session = requests.Session()


adapter = _mtls.MdsMtlsAdapter()
