Google’s Gemini API CLI Works Inside Other Coding Agents

Google has packaged its model and media services as shell commands that an existing agent can call. The practical choice is between changing the agent that runs your project and giving that agent another tool.

Your existing agent and project folder stay inside a workspace. The local gemini-api client sends an image task to a separate hosted Google API, receives image data and saves a local file.
Diagram Punkyour agent keeps the project. The local CLI calls Google’s hosted image service, saves the returned image and gives the caller a file path. A schematic contract, not a live generation result.
