No payment protocol (0). Token prices and plan prices are public without a login (20). The 1,000 requests a day Google sign-in tier ended on 18 June 2026. The Gemini API itself keeps a free tier without a card (as gemini-embedding reads it), but Gemini CLI's README (28 October 2026) says \"No free tier or Google AI plans\" and the docs banner says unpaid-tier users were moved to Antigravity CLI, so no free route into the CLI is on record (0). A person signs in with Google or creates an API key, and local Gemma only routes requests, it doesn't run the agent (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Gemini CLI +38\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Docs site and a workspace server package (55).\n- Gemini CLI (93): Framework reading. settings.schema.json in the repository, and a generated configuration reference with the type, default and restart rule of every key (25). llms.txt at geminicli.com serving the documentation as Markdown (10). Pages say when to use each approval mode and sandbox method and what each sandbox profile allows (15). Approval modes, sandbox commands and Seatbelt profiles are enums (13). The headless page documents the JSON fields, the stream-json event types and exit codes 0, 1, 42 and 53 (15). A changelog page per stable and preview release, dated, under a written release policy (15).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Gemini CLI +36\n\n- Emdash (54): Apache 2.0 (30). A telemetry page on the docs site (not read) (18 of 30). No deprecation policy (5). Disclosed with an opt-out (15 of 20). 30 + 18 + 5 + 15 = 68.\n- Gemini CLI (90): Apache-2.0 (30). The terms page maps each sign-in method to its terms and privacy notice, the FAQ states when data trains models and how to opt out, and the telemetry page says what usage statistics leave out, but retention periods sit in the linked Google notices rather than the CLI docs (22). Dated deprecation notices exist. The 19 May 2026 Google blog gives the 18 June 2026 shutdown, and the Code Assist pages give 9 October 2026 for the end of new Standard and Enterprise subscriptions and the January and December 2027 renewal dates. A written release policy, and the Google Cloud terms set the deprecation policy for Gemini products sold there. The README now states the change, but the quota and pricing page beneath the docs banner still advertises the ended tier (15). Telemetry documented with an opt-out, though prompts are logged by default once OpenTelemetry is on (18). 30 + 22 + 15 + 18 = 85.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Gemini CLI +29\n\n- Emdash (38): Harness reading. Telemetry is described as optional and disabled in Settings or with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false, which reads as on by default (15 of 30). Worktree per task and remote machines over SSH (10 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). No security policy file found (3). 15 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 38.\n- Gemini CLI (67): Framework reading (telemetry defaults, approvals, guardrails, sandboxing), five lines. Usage statistics on by default (`privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` defaults to true), documented as free of prompts, responses, file contents and personal information, with one setting to turn them off. Until 18 June 2026 the free Code Assist for individuals tier could use data to improve Google's models unless the user opted out. Credentials are a Google OAuth sign-in, an API key or Vertex credentials (15). Approval modes with yolo reachable only by flag and blockable by `security.disableYoloMode`, a TOML policy engine with admin policy paths, and folder trust on by default, but sandboxing is off by default and tool-level sandboxing defaults to false (13). Environment-variable redaction, and 0.61.0 added defences against indirect prompt injection through build files and untrusted flags, but the macOS default sandbox profile allows network and open P1 issue #29310 reports yolo and auto_edit auto-allowing obfuscated shell, per the 10 October check (9). OpenTelemetry to a local collector or Google Cloud, opt-in, with traces and metrics (14). SECURITY.md routes reports to g.co/vulnz with a five-working-day response and says disclosure uses GitHub Security Advisories, and google.com has a valid security.txt to 2030. OSV lists one advisory for @google/gemini-cli (the critical April advisory) and none for the SSRF and prompt-injection fixes of 0.59.0 and 0.61.0 (16). SOC 2 isn't scored on the framework reading. 15 + 13 + 9 + 14 + 16 = 67.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Gemini CLI +23\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Issue intake from Linear, GitHub, Jira and others, diff review, pull requests and CI checks in one place, local or over SSH (55).\n- Gemini CLI (78): Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. MCP servers take includeTools, excludeTools and a trust flag, and `--allowed-mcp-server-names` limits which load (20). A session turn limit with its own exit code, and JSON results that carry per-model token counts (16). Documented exit codes and an error object in JSON output (18). `--resume` and checkpointing (14). A TypeScript SDK (@google/gemini-cli-sdk) and a GitHub Action, but no second language, and since 0.39.1 a CI run has to set `GEMINI_TRUST_WORKSPACE` to work in its own checkout (10).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gemini CLI +18\n\n- Emdash (70): v1.2.11 on 6 November 2026 (30). v1.2.9, v1.2.10 and v1.2.11 within two weeks (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current installers and Homebrew cask (15). Release workflows, no test CI (5). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 5 = 70.\n- Gemini CLI (88): 0.66.0 on 2026-10-27 (30). 14 stable releases from 3 August to 1 November (0.54.0, 0.54.4, 0.55.1 and 0.56.0 to 0.66.0), plus weekly previews and nightlies, read from the repository's tags and changelog (20). 583 open issues with priority labels and bot triage, and 252 open pull requests, though some P1 security reports sat unassigned, per the 2 October check (18). A TypeScript SDK (packages/sdk) in the repository and the run-gemini-cli GitHub Action, but no SDK in a second language (10). CI, nightly evals and an Allstar policy (10). 30 + 20 + 18 + 10 + 10 = 88.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Emdash | Gemini CLI | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 71 | Gemini CLI +16 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 93 | Gemini CLI +38 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 78 | Gemini CLI +23 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 38 | 67 | Gemini CLI +29 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 20 | Emdash +40 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 88 | Gemini CLI +18 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 54 | 90 | Gemini CLI +36 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -7 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.9 · D** | **64.8 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Emdash | Gemini CLI |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | General Action, Inc. | Google |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Free | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | Apache-2.0 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-10-27 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | couldn't be read |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | 2026-10-01 |\n| Customer content may train models | not read yet | yes |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Popularity | none | 107k stars |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3.5/5 (2) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Emdash\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Gemini CLI\n\n- -2.0 on 1 November 2026: correction\n- +0.1 on 27 October 2026: checklist\n- -5.3 on 10 October 2026 (BB to B): new evidence, correction, negative event\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Emdash.** A mature open-source app for parallel coding agents in Git worktrees, with issue intake from a dozen trackers and remote machines over SSH. Telemetry is on unless you turn it off, and no test workflow was found in the repository.\n\n**Gemini CLI.** Apache-2.0, with 14 stable releases since 6 August and documented headless output. Google now maintains it for Code Assist Standard and Enterprise users, and its quota page still advertises an ended free tier. Two 2026 security fixes shipped without advisories, and sandboxing is off by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Emdash\n\n1. Launch with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false if you don't want telemetry\n2. Use the SSH mode to keep agents on a remote machine\n\n### Gemini CLI\n\n1. Set `GEMINI_TRUST_WORKSPACE` to true only for trusted inputs in CI. Since 0.39.1 headless mode doesn't trust a folder on its own\n2. Turn on the sandbox with `-s` or `tools.sandbox`, and pick a proxied Seatbelt profile on macOS to cut network\n3. Set `privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` to false to stop usage statistics\n4. Since 0.63.0, plans run without interactive confirmation in non-interactive mode, so set the approval mode explicitly before a headless run\n5. Authenticate with a paid Gemini API key or Vertex credentials. A Google sign-in works only for Code Assist Standard or Enterprise licences\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Emdash or Gemini CLI?\n\nGemini CLI scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against Emdash's 53.9 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
