## General issues
This section addresses common questions about Gemini CLI usage, security, and
troubleshooting general errors.
### Why can't I use third-party software (e.g. Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode) with Gemini CLI?
Using third-party software, tools, or services to access Gemini CLI is a
violation of our [applicable terms and policies](tos-privacy.md), and severely
degrades the experience for legitimate product users. Such actions may be
grounds for suspension or termination of your account. If you would like to use
a third-party coding agent with Gemini, we recommend using a Vertex or AI Studio
API key.
Using third-party software, tools, or services to harvest or piggyback on Gemini
CLI's OAuth authentication to access our backend services is a direct violation
of our [applicable terms and policies](tos-privacy.md). Doing so bypasses our
intended authentication and security structures, and such actions may be grounds
for immediate suspension or termination of your account. If you would like to
use a third-party coding agent with Gemini, the supported and secure method is
to use a Vertex AI or Google AI Studio API key.
### Why am I getting an `API error: 429 - Resource exhausted`?
