Cease debugging ambiguous startup failures brought on by lacking API keys, hidden setting variables, or a crashing MCP server. AI instruments are best once they’re tailor-made to your particular setting and information however handbook configuration is usually brittle and complicated. For this reason we’re launching extension settings<\/b>.

A primary-class expertise for extension configuration<\/h2>\n
Extension settings present a structured method that ensures your expertise is painless and easy. Extension authors can now outline precisely what data their instrument must perform; whether or not it is an API key, a base URL, or a mission identifier. No extra digging by way of README\u2019s or attempting to decode error messages.<\/p>\n
Extension settings present the next advantages:<\/p>\n
\n
Automated setup:<\/b> Customers are mechanically prompted to offer settings throughout the set up of an extension.<\/li>\n
Built-in safety:<\/b> Delicate settings like API keys are mechanically saved within the system keychain quite than plain textual content recordsdata.<\/li>\n
Command-line administration:<\/b> The brand new gemini extensions config command offers a centralized option to view and replace settings.<\/li>\n
Scoped overrides:<\/b> Help for each world person and project-specific workspace scopes ensures the proper configuration is utilized in the proper context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

If a setting is marked as delicate, the enter is obfuscated throughout entry and saved securely within the system keychain.<\/p>\n Managing settings with the config command<\/h2>\nThe gemini extensions config command is your major instrument for managing extension configuration after set up. Use it to replace settings interactively or goal particular values instantly.<\/p>\nReplace all settings for an extension<\/h3>\nTo stroll by way of each setting outlined by an extension, run:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\ngemini extensions config <\/code><\/pre>\n\n Shell\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nReplace a selected setting<\/h3>\nIf precisely which worth wants to alter, specify the setting variable title:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \ngemini extensions config <\/extension-name><\/code><\/pre>\n\n Shell\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nUse workspace overrides<\/h3>\nFor settings that adjust between initiatives, use the –scope workspace flag to save lots of the worth in your present listing’s configuration quite than globally:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \ngemini extensions config alloydb ALLOYDB_POSTGRES_CLUSTER --scope workspace<\/code><\/pre>\n\n Shell\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nDebugging the configuration<\/h2>\nWhen troubleshooting points with extensions, it’s typically useful to confirm that every one configuration settings are appropriate. A easy typo in a mission ID<\/i> or a lacking API key<\/i> can forestall an extension from functioning correctly.<\/p>\n You may examine the presently put in extensions and their lively settings utilizing the extensions listing command.
