1. Your key, your account. You are responsible for all usage, charges, quotas and policy compliance on the Google account the key belongs to. Create a separate key just for this site, set a spending cap or budget alert on it, and revoke it when you are done.
2. Where your key is kept.
- In My Browser Only: stored in this browser's local storage on this device. It is not sent to or stored on the server. Your browser sends it directly to Google with each model request your agent makes. Anyone with access to this browser profile could read it.
- 7-Day Vault: sent to the server and stored there encrypted for up to 7 days.
- Ephemeral RAM Only: sent to the server and held in its memory for this session.
3. What the operator can see. The agent runs on this site's server, so the site operator can see your prompts, the files the agent works with, its tool activity and the model's responses. In the Vault and RAM modes the operator could technically access your key. In browser mode the key is handled by this page's code, which is served by this site.
4. Keep the tab open (browser mode). Your agent's model requests pass through your open tab. If you close or reload it, the running task loses access to your key and stops.
5. Third parties. Model requests are processed by Google under Google's own terms. The agent software may send usage telemetry to Google.
6. Acceptable use. Do not use the service for unlawful or abusive purposes. The operator may rate-limit, suspend or end access at any time.
7. No warranty. The service is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for charges on your account, data loss or service interruptions.
8. Removing your key. Use "Revoke & Scrub" at any time. For complete certainty, also delete the key in Google AI Studio.
9. Changes. If these terms change, you will be asked to accept them again before your key is used.
