Gemini CLI 0.53.1

0.53.0→0.53.1·July 31, 2026 at 11:05 PM UTC

Patch release that tightens tool-response behaviour so the agent always follows up after tool calls and edits instead of returning empty replies.

Changelog

  • [changed] After a tool returns a functionResponse, the agent must either call another tool or give a user-facing text response — empty replies with no text and no tool calls are no longer allowed.
  • [changed] After edit or write-file tool runs, the agent must summarize what changed and outline verification or next steps (for example running tests), and must not finish the turn with zero text tokens.

Models & prompts

  • Built-in tool-usage guidance now includes explicit Tool Execution Response Rules and Post-Edit Response Rules so the model consistently continues the turn after tools and file edits.

Upgrade notes

No special upgrade steps; existing installs pick up the clearer post-tool and post-edit response behaviour automatically.
