think we can tell google they have more work to do

Error calling tool 'edit_file'. all the time

Hey, if this is Gemini, Google are still working out the final kinks to ensure tool calls work correctly ever time, they are still somewhat unstable at the moment. However, if you are not using Gemini, we definitely want to get this fixed. Anyone facing this issue when they are not using Gemini and have privacy mode disabled should drop a request ID here, and we can take a look at whats failing behind the scenes!

+1. Gemini 2.5, even Pro Max, is unable to edit a file, list a directory, call a command. Think it started this morning.

Gemini is broken for weeks here. Using the ‘preview’ tagged version works.
Help.
