Interactions are used to improve Google products unless users opt out, and a headless run exits 0 when a tool is denied.\n\n**Droid CLI.** `droid exec` is read-only unless `--auto` raises the autonomy level, with command rules, an optional kernel-enforced sandbox, JSON output and documented exit codes. No free tier, status page or security.txt was found, the source is closed, and usage metrics go to Factory by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Antigravity CLI\n\n1. Read the `status` field from `--output-format json` and read stderr too. A tool refused for lack of approval still exits 0\n2. Pre-approve each shell command and tool a headless run needs with `action(target)` rules under `permissions.allow` in ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json, because headless runs cannot ask\n3. Export `GEMINI_API_KEY` after setting modelProvider to gemini. The CLI won't start when the key is missing, and setting the variable alone has no effect\n4. Turn off Enable Telemetry in the Account settings before running on private repositories if Interactions should not be used for product improvement\n5. Set `--print-timeout` explicitly. The docs give a five-minute default, while `agy --help` shows 0s\n\n### Droid CLI\n\n1. Set `FACTORY_API_KEY` (starts `fk-`) from the API keys page in Factory settings for headless runs. Interactive use signs in through a browser\n2. Start with `droid exec` and no flags for analysis. Add `--auto low` for edits and `--auto medium` for installs, tests and local commits\n3. Use `--output-format json` and read `is_error`, `num_turns` and `session_id`. Treat a non-zero exit code as failure\n4. Set `sandbox.enabled` to true before running on untrusted code. In `droid exec` a sandbox violation is denied without a prompt\n5. Pin the version in CI with `npm install -g droid@\u003cversion\u003e`, or set `FACTORY_DROID_AUTO_UPDATE_ENABLED=false` on standalone installs, which update themselves\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Antigravity CLI or Droid CLI?\n\nDroid CLI scores 59.1 (C) on agent readiness against Antigravity CLI's 57.7 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
