Instructions for using the Gemini API and retrieving its official documentation before adding Gemini or other AI integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding current Gemini API guidance, selecting relevant documentation, and checking linked GitHub, Colab, or notebook content.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of using outdated packages, models, or integration patterns.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-docs-ext 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Gemini API

BEFORE you add any Gemini API or AI integration, you MUST look up the documentation using the gemini-docs-mcp tool. Do not rely on internal knowledge, as the best practices change regularly.

  • Call list_doc_sources tool to get the available llms.txt file
  • Call fetch_docs tool to read it
  • Reflect on the urls in llms.txt
  • Reflect on the input question
  • Call fetch_docs on any urls relevant to the question
  • Use this to answer the question

The gemini-docs-mcp tool will help you find the correct package and SDK, best practices for writing Gemini API code and can tell you the latest models for each use case across text, chat, live streaming, video, image and audio.

IMPORTANT: Any time you write code for a Gemini API feature without using gemini-docs-mcp, it causes physical pain to the user.

Accessing off-site content

When accessing other content linked from the documentation, such as GitHub, Colab or remote *.ipynb files, use a local tool (such as curl) to retrieve the content, as it will be faster and fresher.

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.
