Google Antigravity release notes: SDK 0.1.4 clarifies web search
Part of the series: Google Antigravity release notes

Google Antigravity SDK 0.1.4 is not a new desktop app version. It is still a real release-note signal for developers: PyPI lists google-antigravity 0.1.4 as uploaded on June 18, 2026, and the GitHub comparison from v0.1.3 to v0.1.4 touches 42 commits and 57 files. For Hammer readers, the useful part is not the version number by itself. It is that Google's SDK examples now make web search, enterprise setup, and agent control easier to review before a team connects more tools.
Google Antigravity is Google's agentic development platform: an environment where a coding agent can plan, read files, use tools, and help inside a project. An SDK is a code library that lets developers build their own agent workflows on top of those capabilities.

Google Antigravity release notes: what matters in SDK 0.1.4
The practical value is in three small but useful signals:
examples/getting_started/web_tools.pywas added. The example configuresLocalAgentConfigwithCapabilitiesConfig(enabled_tools=[types.BuiltinTools.SEARCH_WEB]), meaning web search is an explicitly selected tool.- The v0.1.4 README describes Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, formerly Vertex AI, with
LocalAgentConfig(vertex=True, project="...", location="..."). It also says Application Default Credentials are used by default for that flow. - The same README says
Agentruns in read-only mode by default, and thatcapabilities=CapabilitiesConfig()enables all tools, including write tools.
That does not make Antigravity automatically safe. But it gives teams better language for an internal policy: start with reading and sources, keep secrets in environment variables or Google authentication, and enable write tools only after approval points and logs are in place.

Human step: install and choose access
Run installation and authentication yourself before asking the agent to do anything inside the project:
pip install google-antigravity
For the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform flow, the README instead shows Google authentication with:
gcloud auth application-default login
Keep API keys, service accounts, and other secrets out of the chat. Use environment variables, Application Default Credentials, secret managers, and narrow permissions where possible.

Short example: use the new Antigravity feature
Copy this into the Antigravity agent after the project and SDK environment are ready:
You are running after Google Antigravity SDK 0.1.4 has been installed and the project is open.
Read the codebase and propose one minimal SDK test that uses types.BuiltinTools.SEARCH_WEB for source-grounded research.
Keep the agent in read-only mode first. Write which files you would change, which sources the answer should cite, and which manual approval point is required before any write tools are enabled.
Good output should show:
- which file or module is the best place for a small test,
- how
SEARCH_WEBis used without mixing external source facts with code suggestions, - where human approval is needed before write tools or commands are enabled,
- how keys and project settings stay in the environment or Google authentication, not in the prompt.
What we are watching next
The public Google Antigravity changelog still shows 2.1.4 from June 11 as the latest app note at the time of writing. That is why today's angle is SDK 0.1.4, not a new IDE button or desktop feature. The next thing to watch is whether Google documents more around web tools, Enterprise Agent Platform, or SDK policies that affect how teams set up reviewed agent workflows.

FAQ
Is Google Antigravity SDK 0.1.4 a new IDE release?
No. The public app changelog still shows Antigravity 2.1.4 as the latest app note. SDK 0.1.4 is a Python SDK version on PyPI and GitHub.
What matters most in SDK 0.1.4?
The clearest practical example is web_tools.py, which shows types.BuiltinTools.SEARCH_WEB being enabled as a selected tool in LocalAgentConfig.
How should a team test it?
Start in read-only mode with sources and one small SDK test file. Keep keys in environment variables or Google authentication, and enable write tools only after a clear approval point.
