  }
}

Tools

search_gemini_docs

Search the Gemini API documentation for relevant pages.

Parameters:

  • query (string, required): Search query (e.g., "function calling", "embeddings")

  • max_results (number, optional): Maximum results to return (1-20, default: 10)

  • response_format (string, optional): Output format - "markdown" or "json" (default: "markdown")

Example:

{
  "query": "function calling",

fetch_gemini_docFetch Gemini API Documentation PageA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch and parse a specific Gemini API documentation page.

This tool fetches a documentation page from the Gemini API docs and extracts its content including title, sections, and code examples.

Args:

  • path (string): The documentation path (e.g., "function-calling", "embeddings"). Use empty string "" for the main overview page.

  • response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown')

Returns: For JSON format: Structured data with schema: { "url": string, // Full URL of the page "title": string, // Page title "description": string, // Brief description "sections": [ { "level": number, // Heading level (1-6) "title": string, // Section title "content": string // Section content } ], "codeExamples": [ { "language": string, // Programming language "code": string // Code snippet } ], "fullText": string // Full text content (truncated if too long) }

Common paths:

  • "" (empty) - Main overview page

  • "quickstart" - Getting started guide

  • "function-calling" - Function calling / tool use

  • "embeddings" - Text embeddings

  • "structured-output" - JSON structured output

  • "text-generation" - Text generation basics

  • "image-understanding" - Vision / image analysis

  • "audio" - Audio understanding

  • "live" - Live API (real-time streaming)

  • "api-key" - API key setup

  • "models" - Available models

  • "pricing" - Pricing information

  • "rate-limits" - Rate limits and quotas

Use search_gemini_docs first to find the correct path if you're unsure.

Inputs: path (required), response_format.

search_gemini_docsSearch Gemini API DocumentationA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search the Gemini API documentation for relevant pages.

This tool searches through the Gemini API documentation index to find pages matching your query. It searches across page titles, categories, and keywords to find the most relevant documentation.

Args:

  • query (string): Search query to find relevant documentation (e.g., "function calling", "embeddings", "rate limits")

  • max_results (number): Maximum results to return, 1-20 (default: 10)

  • response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown')

Returns: For JSON format: Structured data with schema: { "query": string, // The search query "total": number, // Number of results found "results": [ { "title": string, // Page title "path": string, // Documentation path (e.g., "function-calling") "url": string, // Full URL to the documentation page "category": string, // Category (e.g., "Core Capabilities") "matchedKeywords": [] // Keywords that matched the query } ] }

Examples:

  • "function calling" -> finds Function Calling documentation

  • "embeddings" -> finds Embeddings documentation

  • "authentication" or "api key" -> finds API Keys documentation

  • "rate limits" -> finds Rate Limits documentation

  • "vision" or "image" -> finds Image Understanding documentation

Use this tool first to find relevant documentation pages, then use fetch_gemini_doc to get the full content.

Inputs: query (required), max_results, response_format.

    A4.4/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes with no overlap: fetch_gemini_doc retrieves and parses specific documentation pages, while search_gemini_docs searches across the documentation index to find relevant pages. The descriptions explicitly guide users to use search first when unsure of the path, then fetch for detailed content, creating a logical workflow without confusion.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tools follow a perfect verb_noun pattern with consistent snake_case naming: fetch_gemini_doc and search_gemini_docs. The naming clearly indicates the action (fetch/search) and the target (gemini_doc/gemini_docs), making them predictable and easy to understand as a set.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, this server feels thin for a documentation exploration domain. While the tools cover the core workflow of search-then-fetch, additional operations like listing available documentation categories or getting metadata about the documentation set would enhance completeness. The count is borderline minimal but functional.

    Completeness4/5

    For a documentation server, the surface covers the essential workflow: searching for relevant pages and fetching detailed content. The main gap is the lack of a tool to browse or list available documentation sections without searching, which could help agents discover content. However, the search tool with its comprehensive examples mitigates this gap reasonably well.
