Google Antigravity TOS warns third-party tool use could trigger full account bans
Users risk losing their entire Google identity by accessing the AI agent service via non-official interfaces.
Google's AI agent service, Antigravity, has sparked alarm among tech experts after its Terms of Service revealed that using third-party tools to access the platform could lead to the termination of a user's entire Google account.
According to Section 6 of the Google Antigravity Terms of Service, using the service in connection with products not provided by Google is a breach of the agreement. The document explicitly cites the use of OpenClaw with Antigravity OAuth as an example of such a violation. The TOS further warns that these breaches "may be grounds for suspension or termination of your account," a phrase suggesting the penalty extends beyond the specific AI service to the broader Google account.
The conflict over account bans
The controversy has highlighted a discrepancy between Google's legal language and its public communications. Varun Mohan, the Head of Antigravity, stated on X that the team has never performed full Google account bans, asserting that they only issue bans for the Antigravity product itself.
However, tech journalist Gergely Orosz has reported receiving accounts from users who experienced bans that extended beyond Antigravity. Specifically, Orosz noted instances where users were banned from the Gemini CLI in conjunction with their Antigravity bans, suggesting that the impact of a violation can bleed into other Google AI products.
Why the risk is disproportionate
For the average user, a Google account serves as a central identity hub, housing critical data including Gmail, Google Drive documents, and Google Photos. The prospect of losing this entire ecosystem over the use of a third-party AI interface is seen by critics as an extreme penalty.
Theo (t3.gg) emphasized the severity of the risk, stating that users may not fully understand the danger of using Gemini subscriptions outside of official Google surfaces, noting that it could result in getting one's "ENTIRE GOOGLE ACCOUNT BANNED." Because the stakes involve the loss of lifelong digital archives and primary communication channels, experts are advising users to avoid non-official interfaces entirely.
What to watch
As more users experiment with AI agent workflows and third-party "harnesses" to leverage their subscriptions, the tension between official surfaces and community-built tools is likely to grow. It remains to be seen if Google will clarify the specific boundary between a "product ban" and an "account ban" to alleviate user fears. For now, the documented TOS language remains the primary authority, leaving users to weigh the utility of third-party tools against the risk of total account loss.
