Request for Manual Review – Gemini / Antigravity API Access Disabled (Unintentional ToS Violation)

Dear Google Support Team,

I am writing to request a manual review regarding the suspension of my Gemini / Antigravity API access.

Recently, my account received a 403 error indicating that the service was disabled due to a Terms of Service violation. After reviewing my development setup, I believe the issue may have been caused by my experimentation with development tools such as gemini-cli or an IDE plugin (Antigravity) while building a small local AI assistant project.

At the time, I was learning how different AI frameworks integrate with Gemini and testing local automation features. I was not aware that extracting or automating OAuth credentials from these tools could violate the API usage policies. This was done only for development and learning purposes, and there was absolutely no intention to misuse the service or bypass Google’s policies.

After realizing this mistake, I immediately took the following corrective actions:

  • Stopped using the related CLI tools and IDE plugins

  • Deleted all locally cached OAuth tokens and authentication data

  • Removed the development configuration that could trigger automated authentication

  • Carefully reviewed the Gemini API Terms of Service and usage policies

If my access can be restored, I will strictly follow Google’s official guidelines and only use approved authentication methods, such as:

  • Official API keys generated from Google AI Studio

  • Official SDKs and documented authentication flows

I fully respect Google’s platform policies and will ensure that all future usage complies with the Terms of Service and rate limit requirements.

I sincerely apologize for my misunderstanding of the policies and any inconvenience this may have caused. I kindly ask if my account can be manually reviewed and my API access reinstated.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards
