MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Gemini Cli tools

Execute · Medium gemini_login This tool initiates an OAuth login flow, which is an external operation that interacts with Google's authentication systems. Execute · High gemini_analyze This tool sends files or code to an external AI service (Gemini) for analysis, triggering an external operation whose effects depend on the content of the arguments. Execute · Medium gemini_query This tool executes queries against an external AI service via CLI, which constitutes triggering external operations.

3 of Gemini Cli's 5 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Gemini Cli

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Gemini Cli, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Cap read operations

{
  "gemini_auth_status": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "gemini_auth_status_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Gemini Cli — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How many tools does the Gemini Cli MCP server expose? +

5 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 2 are read-only. 3 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Gemini Cli? +

Register the Gemini Cli MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
