mcp-coda: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

mcp-coda GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from vish288/mcp-coda. It costs 489 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for an MCP server that connects AI agents to Coda, a collaborative document and database application. It describes tools for documents, pages, tables, rows, formulas, permissions, publishing, and automations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or edit Coda documents and pages, read or update table rows, manage permissions, publish documents, run automations, and check the status of changes.
Why use it?
It maps common Coda tasks to the correct sequence of operations. This helps an agent safely find the right document or table before reading or changing its data.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is vish288/mcp-coda's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on mcp-coda 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-coda 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-coda 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 7d 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

mcp-coda — Gemini CLI Extension Context

MCP server providing 54 tools, 12 resources, and 5 prompts for the Coda API. Covers the full Coda document lifecycle: docs, pages, tables, rows, formulas, permissions, automations, and publishing.

Tool Categories

  • Docs — list, get, create, delete docs; resolve browser links to API IDs
  • Pages — list, get, create, update, delete, export pages
  • Folders — list, create folders
  • Tables — list, get tables; list columns
  • Rows — list, get, insert, update, delete rows
  • Formulas & Controls — list/get formulas, list/get controls
  • Automations — trigger automations
  • Permissions — list, add, delete permissions; publish/unpublish docs
  • Utilities — push button, check mutation status

Common Workflows

  • Table data management: coda-list-docs -> coda-list-tables -> coda-list-columns -> coda-list-rows -> coda-insert-rows or coda-update-row
  • Page editing: coda-resolve-link -> coda-get-page -> coda-update-page
  • Doc setup: coda-create-doc -> coda-create-page -> coda-list-tables -> coda-insert-rows
  • Access control: coda-list-permissions -> coda-add-permission -> coda-publish-doc
  • Automation trigger: coda-list-docs -> coda-trigger-automation -> coda-mutation-status

Notes

  • Generate API tokens at https://coda.io/account under "API settings".
  • Set CODA_READ_ONLY=true to restrict all operations to read-only.
  • Default request timeout is 30 seconds; override with CODA_TIMEOUT.
  • Use coda-resolve-link to convert browser URLs to API doc/page IDs before other operations.
  • Pack formulas (e.g., DrawFlowchart, Mermaid) cannot be inserted or executed via the API.
  • Coda API rate limits apply; the server does not retry on 429 responses.
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.
