gemini-extension: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

gemini-extension GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from conversiontools/gemini-extension. It costs 990 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using Conversion Tools, a hosted service that converts files between formats. It covers documents, data, images, audio, video, e-books, OCR, subtitles, speech, and custom converters.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find converters, convert files, extract data with OCR or AI, convert speech and audio, and create a custom converter when needed.
Why use it?
It explains how to choose and run a conversion when the required format change is not handled by the local project.

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions Gemini CLI.

This is conversiontools/gemini-extension's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on gemini-extension itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gemini-extension configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gemini-extension GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conversion Tools

conversiontools is a file-conversion integration provided by this extension via the hosted Conversion Tools MCP server (https://mcp.conversiontools.io/mcp). It converts files between 140+ formats: documents, data (JSON, CSV, XML, YAML, Parquet), images, audio, video, e-books, OCR, subtitles, AI-powered data extraction, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text. It can also build a custom converter from a plain-language description when no standard converter fits (see "Build a custom converter" below).

It is NOT a Maven/npm/build plugin and has nothing to do with any local project file. Do not search the web for it and do not inspect project source to convert a file - use the MCP tools below.

If the tools are not available

The conversiontools tools only appear after the MCP server is authenticated. If you do not see tools like convert_file / list_converters, tell the user to run:

/mcp auth conversiontools

This opens a browser for a one-time OAuth login. After that, the tools load automatically.

How to convert a file

  1. Pick the converter. Call find_converter with the input and output formats (e.g. { "input_format": "xml", "output_format": "csv" }). It returns the converter type, for example convert.xml_to_csv. You can also pass that converter explicitly to convert_file.
  2. Provide the file content. The server is remote and cannot read local paths, so:
    • Files up to 5 MB: read the file yourself and pass its bytes base64-encoded as file_content, along with input_path and output_path. Encode the file in-process rather than shelling out - agent sandboxes (Gemini CLI, for one) block PowerShell and $(...) base64 one-liners as "command substitution", so a shell command like [Convert]::ToBase64String(...) will fail. If you must shell out, use a clean encoder such as base64 -w0 file (no line wrapping); never certutil -encode, which wraps the output in -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- headers and corrupts it.
    • Files over 5 MB: call request_upload_url, PUT the file to the returned URL, then call convert_file with the returned file_id instead of file_content.
  3. The response includes a download_url. Download the result with curl -sL "<download_url>" -o <output>.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
