retrieving-developer-knowledge

Searches, retrieves, and synthesizes official Google developer documentation across Google Cloud, AI/Gemini, Android, Chrome, Web, Flutter, Go, Firebase, and other Google developer platforms. Integrates with the Developer Knowledge MCP server (search_documents, get_documents, answer_query) or the Developer Knowledge REST API fallback. Use when searching for gcloud CLI commands, API syntax, IAM permissions, official documentation, architectural comparisons, or product choice overviews. Don't use for local filesystem lookups or non-Google documentation.
