vertex-ai-mcp-bridge: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

vertex-ai-mcp-bridge GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from hzy9981/vertex-ai-mcp-bridge. It costs 5,631 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of vertex GEMINI.md, Apache-2.0.

A Gemini CLI extension that connects to Vertex AI, Google's cloud platform for machine-learning services, to manage and improve prompts. A prompt is the instruction given to an AI model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, read, update, delete, and list prompts; run example-based or data-driven optimization; analyze results; generate HTML reports; and create optimization configurations.
Why use it?
It keeps prompt storage, prompt optimization, job-result analysis, and report generation in the Gemini CLI workflow instead of handling each task separately.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is hzy9981/vertex-ai-mcp-bridge's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on vertex-ai-mcp-bridge 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 vertex-ai-mcp-bridge 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

vertex-ai-mcp-bridge 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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to vertex GEMINI.md — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Vertex AI Gemini CLI Extension

This extension provides tools to manage prompts and use prompt optimization in Vertex AI directly from the Gemini CLI.

Available Tools

Prompt Management Tools

  • create_prompt: To save or create new prompts.
  • read_prompt: To retrieve existing prompts by ID or display name.
  • update_prompt: To modify existing prompts.
  • delete_prompt: To remove prompts.
  • list_prompts: To search and list prompts, useful for finding IDs.

Prompt Optimization Tools

  • run_few_shot_optimization: optimize user prompt based on examples provided in the CSV file stored in the GCS bucket.
  • run_data_driven_optimize: Starts a data-driven prompt optimization job on Vertex AI using a configuration file stored in GCS.
  • analyze_data_driven_optimize_results: Analyzes the output of a Data-Driven Optimize job to identify trends and best-performing candidates.
  • generate_html_report: Generates a comprehensive HTML report with visualizations to help you understand optimization performance.
  • write_data_driven_optimize_config: Constructs and uploads a new JSON configuration for optimization jobs, incorporating suggested tuning parameters.

External Tool Proxy

  • call_dashscope_mcp: Proxies calls to the Alibaba DashScope MCP service. Requires DASHSCOPE_API_KEY.

Detailed Instructions for create_prompt Parameters

When using tools.create_prompt, pay special attention to how the following arguments are sourced:

  1. content (string, required):

    • Scenario 1: Saving the Last User Prompt: When the user issues a command like "save last prompt", "save this prompt", or similar, indicating they want to store their previous input:
      • Examine the conversation history.
      • Identify the most recent message with a role of "user".
      • Extract the text content from this latest "user" message.
    • Scenario 2: Creating from Explicitly Provided Content: If the user provides the prompt content directly within the command (e.g., "Create a prompt... with content '...'")
      • Use the explicitly provided content.
    • If no content can be determined from either scenario, pass an empty string.

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.
