gemini-cli-extension: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

gemini-cli-extension GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from pinecone-io/gemini-cli-extension. It costs 569 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using a Pinecone extension with the Gemini CLI, a command-line tool for interacting with Gemini. Pinecone stores searchable numerical representations of content, which support meaning-based search and document question answering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to set up Pinecone indexes, search documents in natural language, manage indexes from a terminal, or build document question-and-answer assistants with citations.
Why use it?
They explain how to choose the extension's skills and use Pinecone tools without needing to remember each command or concept.

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-cli-extension 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.

Pinecone Extension for Gemini CLI

You have access to the Pinecone MCP server and a suite of specialized Agent Skills for managing vector indexes, performing semantic search, and building document Q&A assistants.

Available Agent Skills

This extension bundles several Agent Skills under skills/. Gemini CLI is configured to auto-invoke these skills based on your intent. If you experience routing issues, you can explicitly request a skill by name (e.g., "Use the quickstart skill").

Skill Description
quickstart Interactive onboarding for new developers. Choose between Database (vector search) or Assistant (document Q&A) paths.
query Search integrated indexes (those with built-in embedding models) using natural language text via the Pinecone MCP.
cli Guide for using the Pinecone CLI (pc) for terminal-based management of all index types and advanced vector operations.
assistant Create, manage, and chat with Pinecone Assistants for document Q&A with citations.
mcp Reference for all available Pinecone MCP server tools and their parameters.
pinecone-docs Curated links to official Pinecone documentation, organized by topic.
help Overview of all available Pinecone skills and setup requirements.

Key Concepts & Setup

  • Integrated Indexes: These use Pinecone's hosted embedding models. You can pass raw text, and Pinecone handles embedding automatically.
  • PINECONE_API_KEY:
    • Required for MCP: Must be configured in your Gemini CLI / MCP settings.
    • Required for Skills: Many skills run bundled Python scripts. You must also export the key in your terminal (export PINECONE_API_KEY="your-key") for these scripts to function.
  • Tools: Use the cli skill if you need to manage standard (non-integrated) indexes or perform bulk vector operations that the MCP does not yet support.

Available MCP Tools

  • list-indexes — List all Pinecone indexes.
  • describe-index — Get index configuration and namespaces.
  • describe-index-stats — Get statistics (record counts, namespaces).
  • search-records — Search with optional metadata filtering and reranking.
  • cascading-search — Search across multiple indexes with deduplication and reranking.
  • create-index-for-model — Create an index with integrated embeddings.
  • upsert-records — Insert or update records.
  • rerank-documents — Rerank using a specialized model.
  • search-docs — Search Pinecone documentation.

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.
