Google's new Antigravity terms of service prohibit third-party access, with violations risking full account suspension. The policy has sparked debate in developer communities about API restrictions.
Google updated its Antigravity service terms to explicitly ban third-party usage, threatening account suspension for violations. The restriction applies to any unauthorized access or integration with external tools and services.
The policy prevents users from employing alternative clients, automation tools, or third-party applications that interact with Antigravity features. Users who share API keys or authentication credentials with non-Google services face similar penalties.
Developers flagged the restriction across social platforms and Hacker News, where the story accumulated 149 points and 99 comments. Critics argue the blanket ban limits interoperability and innovation in the ecosystem.
Google has not issued public clarification on enforcement mechanisms or grace periods for existing third-party integrations. The company typically frames such restrictions as necessary for security and platform stability.
Users relying on third-party Antigravity tools are advised to review their current setup against the updated terms to avoid suspension.
