Web Search

Real-time web research using Google Search via Google's Antigravity (`agy`) CLI — the replacement for the deprecated `gemini-cli`. Trigger when user needs current information ("search with agy", "search with Google Antigravity", "find current info about X with agy", "what's the latest on Y"), library/API research, security vulnerability lookups, or comparisons requiring recent data.

Web Search via Google Antigravity (`agy`)

Use Google's Antigravity CLI (agy) to run Google-Search-backed web research and return cited results. Antigravity is Google's successor to gemini-cli and runs Google's Gemini models under the hood.

Quick Start

agy --print "Use Google Search to find [topic]. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Google Antigravity has no --allowed-tools flag, so the prompt itself must scope behavior: explicitly ask it to use Google Search and not to make changes.

When to Use

Current events and news
Latest library versions and documentation
Security vulnerabilities (CVEs)
Community opinions and benchmarks
Best-practices research
Comparison research

Examples

Current info:

agy --print "Use Google Search to find the latest Next.js 15 features. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Vulnerability research:

agy --print "Use Google Search to find known CVEs affecting lodash 4.x. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Comparison:

agy --print "Use Google Search to find recent benchmarks comparing Zustand vs Jotai for React state management. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Best practices:

agy --print "Use Google Search to find current best practices for Node.js 22 error handling. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Multi-turn Research

Use --continue to refine within the same conversation:

agy --print "Search for current options for self-hosted vector databases. Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

agy --continue --print "Of those, which support hybrid search and quantization? Do not make any changes. Respond with the results only." --dangerously-skip-permissions

Notes

Google Antigravity must not make any changes; provide research output ONLY.
agy has no --allowed-tools flag — rely on prompt instructions to keep the call read-only.
Requires sandbox bypass: use dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true when calling via the Bash tool, because agy writes session state under ~/.gemini/ (shared with the old gemini-cli).
May take 1–2 minutes for comprehensive Google searches; bump --print-timeout if needed (use a unit, e.g. --print-timeout 10m).
Validate findings against official documentation.
See references/setup.md and references/patterns.md for more.
