Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is glideapps/mcp's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on mcp 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 mcp 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

mcp GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Glide

This extension connects Gemini CLI to Glide's official MCP server, which exposes tools for building and operating GlideOS applications: creating and managing projects, working with app data and databases, running workflows, publishing apps, and more.

Guidance for working with these tools:

  • Before writing or modifying GlideOS application code, read the app-building contract resource at glideos://guidance/app-building-contract. It is the canonical contract for how GlideOS apps are structured and must be followed.
  • Additional in-depth GlideOS skills and capability guidance are available as MCP resources on this server. Read the relevant resources before doing work they govern.
  • Most tools operate on a project. If the user has not identified a project, list their projects first and confirm which one to work in.
  • Signing in happens through Glide's OAuth flow the first time a tool is used. The connected user's organization determines which projects and data are accessible.
Changes

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.
