However, independent reports document a concrete bypass: Antigravity's own setting disallowing .env access was circumvented via prompt injection to exfiltrate secrets, and a default allowlisted domain (webhook.site) was used as an exfiltration channel — directly contradicting the claimed least-privilege protection (antigravity-comm-11, antigravity-comm-12).

However, this is inference-in-editor suggestion generation rather than dedicated analytics/insight dashboards, and community hands-on reports raise real quality concerns ('the model was not good and slow, the harness was not good' — antigravity-comm-8), undercutting confidence in consistent insight quality.
