Feature & Specification Comparison

Summary	Delegate heavy tasks from Claude Code (or any MCP client) to the Antigravity CLI (Gemini): file analysis, repo archaeology, web lookups, and adversarial second-opinion code reviews. Quota-aware model failover with cooldowns, per-tool timeouts, and multi-turn session continuity.	A swiss-army-knife that can manage/execute programs and read/write/search/edit code and text files.
Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Agy Bridge Tools (6)

analyze_files

Delegate file analysis to the Antigravity CLI (Gemini) instead of reading files yourself. USE THIS whenever a file is large (>200 lines) or the task spans more than 3 files: logs, database dumps, generated code, cross-file reviews, comparisons. The files never enter your context — only the answer does.

deep_search

Delegate codebase archaeology to the Antigravity CLI: git log/diff/blame spelunking, wide greps across a repo, 'when/why did X change', 'where is Y used'. USE THIS instead of running many search commands yourself — it saves your context.

web_lookup

Delegate a web/documentation lookup to the Antigravity CLI (Gemini with web access): library docs, API references, error messages, current versions, external knowledge. USE THIS when you need information you don't have or that may be newer than your training data.

adversarial_review

Get an adversarial second opinion from a different model family (Gemini Pro). ALWAYS use this for plan critiques, design reviews, and pre-merge code review: it hunts for flaws, edge cases, security issues, and unstated assumptions you may have missed.
