Best for
  • Developers using Claude Desktop or Claude Code
  • Users who need large-file or codebase analysis
  • Users who already have Gemini CLI or agy installed and configured
  • Teams that want an AI assistant to directly operate on GitHub repos and collaboration workflows
  • Users already in the GitHub Copilot ecosystem who want a zero-deployment remote option
Not for
  • Users who do not use Claude Desktop or Claude Code
  • Users without the required CLI installed or configured
  • Users who require official Google support or an official integration
  • Scenarios where you don't want the assistant to have write access to repos (enable only read-only toolsets)
  • Environments with strict network isolation for private repos that can't reach the official remote endpoint
Required permissions
  • Access to local files or directories referenced with @ syntax
  • Permission to run the Gemini CLI or agy subprocess
  • Login or API access configured for the selected CLI
  • A personal access token (PAT) or OAuth App token; effective scope depends on the token's own permissions
  • Enabling toolsets like actions/issues/pull_requests grants write access — request tokens on a least-privilege basis
Risks and side effects
  • Tool execution in the agy backend is not sandboxed in -p mode
  • Referenced file contents are submitted to the selected CLI backend for analysis
  • The agy backend may not fully honor requested model or sandbox settings; the tool reports a notice
  • Quota, authentication, and CLI errors may be returned verbatim
  • Write toolsets (creating/merging PRs, triggering workflows) can cause accidental changes if the token is overscoped — try a read-only toolset first
  • In hosted mode, credentials travel via the Authorization header — make sure the client-to-api.githubcopilot.com connection is trusted
