Set up

Add Gainsight to Gemini CLI in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Gemini CLI then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Add Gainsight to Runlayer

    Gainsight isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect Gemini CLI to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Gemini CLI by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Gemini CLI reaches Gainsight’s 20 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Gainsight

    Sign in the way Gainsight requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Gainsight from Gemini CLI

    Gainsight’s approved tools appear in Gemini CLI. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

20 Gainsight tools in Gemini CLI

Runlayer policy decides which of these Gemini CLI users can call.

  • Ask scorecard

    Fetch comprehensive scorecard data for one or more companies and/or relationships.

  • Ask staircase

    ASK Staircase compiles insights from a customer's own communications — emails, meetings, calls, support tickets, escalations, and Slack conversations.

  • Create timeline activity

    Creates a new Gainsight Timeline activity.

  • List fetch cta

    Fetch CTAs (Calls to Action) from Gainsight's Cockpit.

  • Fetch customer contacts

    Fetch contact records (people on the customer side of a company or relationship).

  • Fetch report data

    Fetch rows from a Gainsight report — optionally with on-the-fly modifications — without ever loading the full report config into your context.

  • Fetch success plan list

    Fetch Success Plans from Gainsight.

  • Fetch timeline activity list

    Fetch Timeline Activities from Gainsight using the Query API with full field control.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Gemini CLI

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Gemini CLI exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Gainsight call from Gemini CLI passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Gemini CLI as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Client hooks (available)

    Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.

  • Stop a call before it runs (available)

    Runlayer can deny a tool call before Gemini CLI runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (available)

    Runlayer can block a tool’s output before Gemini CLI’s model sees it.

  • Redact output in place (not available)

    Gemini CLI can only add text to a tool result, not replace it, so Runlayer blocks output it would otherwise mask. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

In Gemini CLI

  • Enforcement needs Gemini CLI 0.26.0 or newer.
  • When Runlayer blocks a call or its output, Gemini CLI shows the model the block reason instead.
