Ask for something get_usb_cable_by_asin does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_usb_cable_by_asin itself — you do not invoke it by name.

If nothing happens, check the server is running and that BuyUSBCables Parametric Hardware & Cable Index's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 November 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
