+### Gemini CLI: Truncated "I will search..." Responses
+
+If Gemini CLI returns truncated responses like "I will search for..." or "I will look up..." instead of actual analysis:
+
+**Cause**: Gemini CLI has an "agentic mode" that triggers when prompts mention code, files, or repositories. In headless `-p` mode, Gemini tries to use tools (file search, web search) but they can't execute, so it outputs intentions instead of analysis.
+
+**Fix**: The `-s` (sandbox) flag disables tool use. As of v1.8.37, polydev-ai automatically adds this flag. To update:
+
+```bash
+# Update polydev-ai
+npm update -g polydev-ai
+
+# Or in mcp-execution
+cd ~/mcp-execution && npm update polydev-ai
+```
+
+**Note**: Simple prompts (like "What is 5 + 5?") work correctly because they don't trigger agentic behavior. Complex prompts about code/repositories do.
