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

If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Bridges — FHWA National Bridge Inventory: Condition, Posting & Clearance'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 25 October 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.
