Gemini CLI with MCP Server Built by Web Apps of Google Apps Script

Abstract

The Gemini CLI can be integrated with Google Workspace via Google Apps Script to securely access personal data, enabling powerful automations like email summaries and calendar management.

Introduction

The recently released Gemini CLI is a powerful command-line interface for interacting with Google's Gemini models and cloud resources. Ref While powerful on its own, its utility can be significantly enhanced by connecting it to a user's personal Google resources, such as Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, Gmail, and Calendar.

A Practical Analysis of the Gemini API's URL Context Tool

Introduction

The Gemini API recently introduced the URL context tool, a feature designed to allow the model to directly fetch and utilize content from specified URLs to ground its responses. Ref

This report provides a practical demonstration of this tool's capabilities. We will investigate its impact on two critical aspects of AI model interaction: the accuracy of the generated response and the total token consumption, which directly affects API costs.

Text-To-Speech (TTS) using Gemini API with Google Apps Script

Description

This script provides a simple example for generating Text-To-Speech (TTS) using the Gemini API within Google Apps Script. The Gemini API generates audio data in the audio/L16;codec=pcm;rate=24000 format, which is not directly playable. Since there's no built-in method to convert this to a standard audio/wav format, this sample script includes a custom function to handle the conversion.

Limitations and Considerations

• The provided convertL16ToWav_ function is specifically designed for the audio/L16;codec=pcm;rate=24000 MIME type. Using it with other audio formats will result in an error.
• The script uses a hardcoded WAV header. This header assumes specific audio parameters (e.g., sample rate, bit depth, number of channels) that match the Gemini API's output for this format. If the Gemini API's output format changes, this header might need adjustment.

Importance of Time Information in Gemini and Current Time Handling

Abstract

This report investigates how Gemini handles current time information, particularly when using the Gemini API. We found that while the Gemini web interface knows the current time, the Gemini API does not inherently. Therefore, applications must explicitly provide current time information in API calls for accurate time-sensitive responses.
