What happened?

From this discussion:

I'm prompting Gemini to modify a file, and it attempts to do so by using the replace or write_file tools but it fails because it find them. An example of the error is

Error executing tool replace: Tool "replace" not found in registry.

Perhaps I have an installation issue (I used the npm install -g @google/gemini-cli method).

A simple prompt to repro:

$ gemini --prompt "Write a foo.py python file that prints hello world"
Error executing tool write_file: Tool "write_file" not found in registry.

What did you expect to happen?

A new foo.py to be written.
