Safety First
Antigravity is an Autonomous Agent. Unlike VS Code, it can execute terminal commands and delete files without explicit confirmation if not configured correctly.
⚠️ Critical Warning
Never run Antigravity in your root directory (e.g., `C:\` or `/`). Always open a specific project subfolder. There have been reports of agents recursively deleting parent directories when trying to "clean up".
1. Configure the Sandbox
Create a file named .antigravity/config.json in your project root to limit the agent's capabilities.
{
"sandbox": {
"allowNetwork": true,
"allowFileWrite": true,
"fileWriteMode": "prompt", // Options: "always", "prompt", "never"
"protectedPaths": [
".git",
".env",
"**/*.lock"
],
"maxFileChangesPerAction": 10
}
}2. Use Docker Mode
For risky refactors, run the agent inside a Docker container. This ensures that even if it goes rogue, your host system remains untouched.
antigravity start --isolation=docker3. Recovery
If files are deleted, check the detailed Agent History logs. Antigravity keeps a local cache of modified files for 24 hours.
antigravity restore --last-session
