+consult is an MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex and Grok ask each other, and Google's Antigravity CLI, for advice through the CLIs already signed in on your machine. No API keys: each advisor runs on the subscription its CLI already uses.
 
 Claude Code on Opus can ask Codex on GPT-6 Astra to review a plan, Codex can ask Grok why a test is flaky, or any of them can put one question to all the others at once. With [task dispatch](#task-dispatch) on, an agent can also hand a coding task to a Codex or Grok worker and follow its progress.

+- `toolPermission` in `~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json` is `request-review` (the default) or `strict`. Writes, shell commands and URL fetches then need approval, which headless mode can't ask for, so agy denies them. `always-proceed` and `proceed-in-sandbox` are refused. `strict` denies file reads too, which leaves agy unable to answer most questions.
+- `permissions.allow` in that file is empty, since allow rules let commands run without approval.
+- `agy mcp list` shows no enabled server, and `agy plugin list` shows no plugins (plugins bring their own MCP servers).
+- No hooks or plugins can load: `~/.gemini/config/hooks.json` and `plugins.json` are missing or empty, `~/.gemini/config/plugins/` and `~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/plugins/` are empty, and there is no `.agents`, `.agent`, `_agents` or `_agent` directory from `cwd` up to the repository root. Hooks run commands, and a hook can approve any tool call, which would get around the permission check.
+
+The error says what to change. agy is also told to use only its file tools: when a tool is denied it ends the turn without an answer, and consult then reports which tool was denied. Its web search tool is not blocked, so search queries go to Google, the same provider that already receives the question. agy can't fork sessions, so it has no live sessions or task dispatch. Resume with `session_id` works through `--conversation`, but agy starts a new conversation if the id is unknown; the reply's `session_id` then differs from the one you passed.
 
 `ask_session` copies use the same flags, plus `--resume <id> --fork-session` (claude, grok) or `exec fork <id>` (codex), so the live session's own transcript is only read.
