## Highlights
- **Plan Mode Enhancements**: Significant updates to Plan Mode, including
support for modifying plans in external editors, adaptive workflows based on
task complexity, and new integration tests.
- **Agent and Core Engine Updates**: Enabled the generalist agent, introduced
`Kind.Agent` for sub-agent classification, implemented task tracking
foundation, and improved Agent-to-Agent (A2A) streaming and content
extraction.
- **CLI & User Experience**: Introduced interactive shell autocompletion, added
a new verbosity mode for cleaner error reporting, enabled parallel loading of
extensions, and improved UI hints and shortcut handling.
- **Billing and Security**: Implemented G1 AI credits overage flow with enhanced
billing telemetry, updated the authentication handshake to specification, and
added support for a policy engine in extensions.
- **Stability and Bug Fixes**: Addressed numerous issues including 100% CPU
consumption by orphaned processes, enhanced retry logic for Code Assist,
reduced intrusive MCP errors, and merged duplicate imports across packages.
- **Plan Mode Enhancements**: Added support for annotating plans with feedback
for iteration, enabling built-in research subagents in plan mode, and a new
`copy` subcommand.
- **Agent and Skill Improvements**: Introduced the new `github-issue-creator`
skill, implemented HTTP authentication support for A2A remote agents, and
added support for authenticated A2A agent card discovery.
- **CLI UX/UI Updates**: Redesigned the header to be compact with an ASCII icon,
inverted the context window display to show usage, and directly indicate auth
required state for agents.
- **Core and ACP Enhancements**: Implemented slash command handling in ACP (for
`/memory`, `/init`, `/extensions`, and `/restore`), added a set models
interface to ACP, and centralized `read_file` limits while truncating large
MCP tool output.

### Planning Workflow
## How to use Plan Mode
Plan Mode uses an adaptive planning workflow where the research depth, plan
structure, and consultation level are proportional to the task's complexity:
Plan Mode lets you collaborate with Gemini CLI to design a solution before
Gemini CLI takes action.
1. **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use read-only tools to map
affected modules and identify dependencies.
2. **Consult:** The depth of consultation is proportional to the task's
complexity:
- **Simple Tasks:** Proceed directly to drafting.
- **Standard Tasks:** Present a summary of viable approaches via
[`ask_user`] for selection.
- **Complex Tasks:** Present detailed trade-offs for at least two viable
approaches via [`ask_user`] and obtain approval before drafting.
3. **Draft:** Write a detailed implementation plan to the
[plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies). The plan's structure
adapts to the task:
- **Simple Tasks:** Focused on specific **Changes** and **Verification**
steps.
- **Standard Tasks:** Includes an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**,
**Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
- **Complex Tasks:** Comprehensive plans including **Background &
Motivation**, **Scope & Impact**, **Proposed Solution**, **Alternatives
Considered**, a phased **Implementation Plan**, **Verification**, and
**Migration & Rollback** strategies.
4. **Review & Approval:** Use the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the plan
and formally request approval.
- **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation.
- **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan. You can also use
[**model steering**](./model-steering.md) to provide real-time feedback
while Gemini CLI is researching or drafting the plan.
- **Refine manually:** Press **Ctrl + X** to open the plan file in your
[preferred external editor]. This allows you to manually refine the plan
steps before approval. If you make any changes and save the file, the CLI
will automatically send the updated plan back to the agent for review and
iteration.
1. **Provide a goal:** Start by describing what you want to achieve. Gemini CLI
will then enter Plan Mode (if it's not already) to research the task.
2. **Review research and provide input:** As Gemini CLI analyzes your codebase,
it may ask you questions or present different implementation options using
[`ask_user`]. Provide your preferences to help guide the design.
3. **Review the plan:** Once Gemini CLI has a proposed strategy, it creates a
detailed implementation plan as a Markdown file in your plans directory. You
can open and read this file to understand the proposed changes.
4. **Approve or iterate:** Gemini CLI will present the finalized plan for your
approval.
- **Approve:** If you're satisfied with the plan, approve it to start the
implementation immediately: **Yes, automatically accept edits** or **Yes,
manually accept edits**.
- **Iterate:** If the plan needs adjustments, provide feedback. Gemini CLI
will refine the strategy and update the plan.
- **Cancel:** You can cancel your plan with `Esc`.

### Exiting Plan Mode
## How to exit Plan Mode
To exit Plan Mode, you can:
You can exit Plan Mode at any time, whether you have finalized a plan or want to
switch back to another mode.
- **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
- **Approve a plan:** When Gemini CLI presents a finalized plan, approving it
automatically exits Plan Mode and starts the implementation.
- **Keyboard shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
- **Natural language:** Ask Gemini CLI to "exit plan mode" or "stop planning."
- **Tool:** Gemini CLI calls the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the
finalized plan for your approval.
## Customization and best practices
Plan Mode is secure by default, but you can adapt it to fit your specific
workflows. You can customize how Gemini CLI plans by using skills, adjusting
safety policies, or changing where plans are stored.

Full-system container sandboxing using LXC/LXD. Unlike Docker/Podman, LXC
containers run a complete Linux system with `systemd`, `snapd`, and other system
services. This is ideal for tools that don't work in standard Docker containers,
such as Snapcraft and Rockcraft.
**Prerequisites**:
- Linux only.
- LXC/LXD must be installed (`snap install lxd` or `apt install lxd`).
- A container must be created and running before starting Gemini CLI. Gemini
does **not** create the container automatically.
**Quick setup**:
```bash
# Initialize LXD (first time only)
lxd init --auto
# Create and start an Ubuntu container
lxc launch ubuntu:24.04 gemini-sandbox
# Enable LXC sandboxing
export GEMINI_SANDBOX=lxc

export GEMINI_SANDBOX=lxc
export GEMINI_SANDBOX_IMAGE=my-snapcraft-container
gemini -p "build the snap"
```
**Limitations**:
- Linux only (LXC is not available on macOS or Windows).
- The container must already exist and be running.
- The workspace directory is bind-mounted into the container at the same
absolute path — the path must be writable inside the container.

# Gemini CLI core: Tools API
The Gemini CLI core (`packages/core`) features a robust system for defining,
registering, and executing tools. These tools extend the capabilities of the
Gemini model, allowing it to interact with the local environment, fetch web
content, and perform various actions beyond simple text generation.
## Core concepts
- **Tool (`tools.ts`):** An interface and base class (`BaseTool`) that defines
the contract for all tools. Each tool must have:
- `name`: A unique internal name (used in API calls to Gemini).
- `displayName`: A user-friendly name.
- `description`: A clear explanation of what the tool does, which is provided
to the Gemini model.
- `parameterSchema`: A JSON schema defining the parameters that the tool
accepts. This is crucial for the Gemini model to understand how to call the
tool correctly.
- `validateToolParams()`: A method to validate incoming parameters.
- `getDescription()`: A method to provide a human-readable description of what
the tool will do with specific parameters before execution.
- `shouldConfirmExecute()`: A method to determine if user confirmation is
required before execution (e.g., for potentially destructive operations).
- `execute()`: The core method that performs the tool's action and returns a
`ToolResult`.
- **`ToolResult` (`tools.ts`):** An interface defining the structure of a tool's
execution outcome:
- `llmContent`: The factual content to be included in the history sent back to
the LLM for context. This can be a simple string or a `PartListUnion` (an
array of `Part` objects and strings) for rich content.
- `returnDisplay`: A user-friendly string (often Markdown) or a special object
(like `FileDiff`) for display in the CLI.
- **Returning rich content:** Tools are not limited to returning simple text.
The `llmContent` can be a `PartListUnion`, which is an array that can contain
a mix of `Part` objects (for images, audio, etc.) and `string`s. This allows a
single tool execution to return multiple pieces of rich content.
- **Tool registry (`tool-registry.ts`):** A class (`ToolRegistry`) responsible
for:
- **Registering tools:** Holding a collection of all available built-in tools
(e.g., `ReadFileTool`, `ShellTool`).
- **Discovering tools:** It can also discover tools dynamically:
- **Command-based discovery:** If `tools.discoveryCommand` is configured in
settings, this command is executed. It's expected to output JSON
describing custom tools, which are then registered as `DiscoveredTool`
instances.
- **MCP-based discovery:** If `mcp.serverCommand` is configured, the
registry can connect to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to list and
register tools (`DiscoveredMCPTool`).
- **Providing schemas:** Exposing the `FunctionDeclaration` schemas of all
registered tools to the Gemini model, so it knows what tools are available
and how to use them.
- **Retrieving tools:** Allowing the core to get a specific tool by name for
execution.
## Built-in tools
The core comes with a suite of pre-defined tools, typically found in
`packages/core/src/tools/`. These include:
- **File system tools:**
- `LSTool` (`ls.ts`): Lists directory contents.
- `ReadFileTool` (`read-file.ts`): Reads the content of a single file.
- `WriteFileTool` (`write-file.ts`): Writes content to a file.
- `GrepTool` (`grep.ts`): Searches for patterns in files.
- `GlobTool` (`glob.ts`): Finds files matching glob patterns.
- `EditTool` (`edit.ts`): Performs in-place modifications to files (often
requiring confirmation).
- `ReadManyFilesTool` (`read-many-files.ts`): Reads and concatenates content
from multiple files or glob patterns (used by the `@` command in CLI).
- **Execution tools:**
- `ShellTool` (`shell.ts`): Executes arbitrary shell commands (requires
careful sandboxing and user confirmation).
- **Web tools:**
- `WebFetchTool` (`web-fetch.ts`): Fetches content from a URL.
- `WebSearchTool` (`web-search.ts`): Performs a web search.
- **Memory tools:**
- `MemoryTool` (`memoryTool.ts`): Interacts with the AI's memory.
Each of these tools extends `BaseTool` and implements the required methods for
its specific functionality.
## Tool execution flow
1. **Model request:** The Gemini model, based on the user's prompt and the
provided tool schemas, decides to use a tool and returns a `FunctionCall`
part in its response, specifying the tool name and arguments.
2. **Core receives request:** The core parses this `FunctionCall`.
3. **Tool retrieval:** It looks up the requested tool in the `ToolRegistry`.
4. **Parameter validation:** The tool's `validateToolParams()` method is
called.
5. **Confirmation (if needed):**
- The tool's `shouldConfirmExecute()` method is called.
- If it returns details for confirmation, the core communicates this back to
the CLI, which prompts the user.
- The user's decision (e.g., proceed, cancel) is sent back to the core.
6. **Execution:** If validated and confirmed (or if no confirmation is needed),
the core calls the tool's `execute()` method with the provided arguments and
an `AbortSignal` (for potential cancellation).
7. **Result processing:** The `ToolResult` from `execute()` is received by the
core.
8. **Response to model:** The `llmContent` from the `ToolResult` is packaged as
a `FunctionResponse` and sent back to the Gemini model so it can continue
generating a user-facing response.
9. **Display to user:** The `returnDisplay` from the `ToolResult` is sent to
the CLI to show the user what the tool did.
## Extending with custom tools
While direct programmatic registration of new tools by users isn't explicitly
detailed as a primary workflow in the provided files for typical end-users, the
architecture supports extension through:
- **Command-based discovery:** Advanced users or project administrators can
define a `tools.discoveryCommand` in `settings.json`. This command, when run
by the Gemini CLI core, should output a JSON array of `FunctionDeclaration`
objects. The core will then make these available as `DiscoveredTool`
instances. The corresponding `tools.callCommand` would then be responsible for
actually executing these custom tools.
- **MCP server(s):** For more complex scenarios, one or more MCP servers can be
set up and configured via the `mcpServers` setting in `settings.json`. The
Gemini CLI core can then discover and use tools exposed by these servers. As
mentioned, if you have multiple MCP servers, the tool names will be prefixed
with the server name from your configuration (e.g.,
`serverAlias__actualToolName`).
This tool system provides a flexible and powerful way to augment the Gemini
model's capabilities, making the Gemini CLI a versatile assistant for a wide
range of tasks.

# Tools reference
Gemini CLI uses tools to interact with your local environment, access
information, and perform actions on your behalf. These tools extend the model's
capabilities beyond text generation, letting it read files, execute commands,
and search the web.
## How to use Gemini CLI's tools
Tools are generally invoked automatically by Gemini CLI when it needs to perform
an action. However, you can also trigger specific tools manually using shorthand
syntax.
### Automatic execution and security
When the model wants to use a tool, Gemini CLI evaluates the request against its
security policies.
- **User confirmation:** You must manually approve tools that modify files or
execute shell commands (mutators). The CLI shows you a diff or the exact
command before you confirm.
- **Sandboxing:** You can run tool executions in secure, containerized
environments to isolate changes from your host system. For more details, see
the [Sandboxing](../cli/sandbox.md) guide.
- **Trusted folders:** You can configure which directories allow the model to
use system tools. For more details, see the
[Trusted folders](../cli/trusted-folders.md) guide.
Review confirmation prompts carefully before allowing a tool to execute.
### How to use manually-triggered tools
You can directly trigger key tools using special syntax in your prompt:
- **[File access](../tools/file-system.md#read_many_files) (`@`):** Use the `@`
symbol followed by a file or directory path to include its content in your
prompt. This triggers the `read_many_files` tool.
- **[Shell commands](../tools/shell.md) (`!`):** Use the `!` symbol followed by
a system command to execute it directly. This triggers the `run_shell_command`
tool.
## How to manage tools
Using built-in commands, you can inspect available tools and configure how they
behave.
### Tool discovery
Use the `/tools` command to see what tools are currently active in your session.
- **`/tools`**: Lists all registered tools with their display names.
- **`/tools desc`**: Lists all tools with their full descriptions.
This is especially useful for verifying that
[MCP servers](../tools/mcp-server.md) or custom tools are loaded correctly.
### Tool configuration
You can enable, disable, or configure specific tools in your settings. For
example, you can set a specific pager for shell commands or configure the
browser used for web searches. See the [Settings](../cli/settings.md) guide for
details.
## Available tools

## Under the hood
For developers, the tool system is designed to be extensible and robust. The
`ToolRegistry` class manages all available tools.
You can extend Gemini CLI with custom tools by configuring
`tools.discoveryCommand` in your settings or by connecting to MCP servers.

# Gemini CLI tools
Gemini CLI uses tools to interact with your local environment, access
information, and perform actions on your behalf. These tools extend the model's
capabilities beyond text generation, letting it read files, execute commands,
and search the web.
## User-triggered tools
You can directly trigger these tools using special syntax in your prompts.
- **[File access](./file-system.md#read_many_files) (`@`):** Use the `@` symbol
followed by a file or directory path to include its content in your prompt.
This triggers the `read_many_files` tool.
- **[Shell commands](./shell.md) (`!`):** Use the `!` symbol followed by a
system command to execute it directly. This triggers the `run_shell_command`
tool.
## Model-triggered tools
The Gemini model automatically requests these tools when it needs to perform
specific actions or gather information to fulfill your requests. You do not call
these tools manually.
### File management
These tools let the model explore and modify your local codebase.
- **[Directory listing](./file-system.md#list_directory) (`list_directory`):**
Lists files and subdirectories.
- **[File reading](./file-system.md#read_file) (`read_file`):** Reads the
content of a specific file.
- **[File writing](./file-system.md#write_file) (`write_file`):** Creates or
overwrites a file with new content.
- **[File search](./file-system.md#glob) (`glob`):** Finds files matching a glob
pattern.
- **[Text search](./file-system.md#search_file_content)
(`search_file_content`):** Searches for text within files using grep or
ripgrep.
- **[Text replacement](./file-system.md#replace) (`replace`):** Performs precise
edits within a file.
### Agent coordination
These tools help the model manage its plan and interact with you.
- **Ask user (`ask_user`):** Requests clarification or missing information from
you via an interactive dialog.
- **[Memory](./memory.md) (`save_memory`):** Saves important facts to your
long-term memory (`GEMINI.md`).
- **[Todos](./todos.md) (`write_todos`):** Manages a list of subtasks for
complex plans.
- **[Agent Skills](../cli/skills.md) (`activate_skill`):** Loads specialized
procedural expertise when needed.
- **[Browser agent](../core/subagents.md#browser-agent-experimental)
(`browser_agent`):** Automates web browser tasks through the accessibility
tree.
- **Internal docs (`get_internal_docs`):** Accesses Gemini CLI's own
documentation to help answer your questions.
### Information gathering
These tools provide the model with access to external data.
- **[Web fetch](./web-fetch.md) (`web_fetch`):** Retrieves and processes content
from specific URLs.
- **[Web search](./web-search.md) (`google_web_search`):** Performs a Google
Search to find up-to-date information.
## How to use tools
You use tools indirectly by providing natural language prompts to Gemini CLI.
1. **Prompt:** You enter a request or use syntax like `@` or `!`.
2. **Request:** The model analyzes your request and identifies if a tool is
required.
3. **Validation:** If a tool is needed, the CLI validates the parameters and
checks your security settings.
4. **Confirmation:** For sensitive operations (like writing files), the CLI
prompts you for approval.
5. **Execution:** The tool runs, and its output is sent back to the model.
6. **Response:** The model uses the results to generate a final, grounded
answer.
## Security and confirmation
Safety is a core part of the tool system. To protect your system, Gemini CLI
implements several safeguards.
- **User confirmation:** You must manually approve tools that modify files or
execute shell commands. The CLI shows you a diff or the exact command before
you confirm.
- **Sandboxing:** You can run tool executions in secure, containerized
environments to isolate changes from your host system. For more details, see
the [Sandboxing](../cli/sandbox.md) guide.
- **Trusted folders:** You can configure which directories allow the model to
use system tools.
Always review confirmation prompts carefully before allowing a tool to execute.
## Next steps
- Learn how to [Provide context](../cli/gemini-md.md) to guide tool use.
- Explore the [Command reference](../reference/commands.md) for tool-related
slash commands.
