Add details to the README regarding gemini.

If we encounter a 429 error calling Gemini then add to our error log some information about this.

[eastlondoner]

Also add error handling for this error type

Querying Gemini AI using gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05...
Error: Gemini API error (503): {
  "error": {
    "code": 503,
    "message": "The model is overloaded. Please try again later.",
    "status": "UNAVAILABLE"
  }
}

Try a different model and add retry with backoff

can we use gemini pro somehow?

Hi @overdrive-dev,

To use Gemini Pro with cursor-tools, you need to configure the gemini.model setting in your cursor-tools.config.json file. You can find this file in either your project's root directory or in your user home directory (~/.cursor-tools/config.json).

Here's how to set it:

1. Locate or Create the Config File:

   • Check your project's root directory for cursor-tools.config.json
   • If it's not there, check your home directory: ~/.cursor-tools/config.json
   • If it doesn't exist in either location, create ~/.cursor-tools/config.json

2. Edit the gemini Section:

   • Open the cursor-tools.config.json file in a text editor
   • Find the gemini section (or add it if it's missing). It should look like this:

   {
     "gemini": {
       "model": "gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05",
       "maxTokens": 10000
     }
     // ... other configurations ...
   }

   • Change the "model" value to the Gemini Pro model you want to use. For example, if you want to use gemini-pro, you should not use it with very large repositories (above 800K tokens). The gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05 model is recommended for large repositories up to 2M tokens.
   • So, to use gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05, make sure the section looks like the example above.

3. Save the File: Save the changes you made to cursor-tools.config.json

4. Ensure API Key: Make sure you have your GEMINI_API_KEY set in your .cursor-tools.env file (either in your project root or in ~/.cursor-tools/)

After these steps, cursor-tools will use the specified Gemini Pro model for commands like cursor-tools repo. You don't need to specify the model on the command line unless you want to temporarily override your configured default. For example, cursor-tools repo "explain this function" --model="gemini-pro" would use gemini-pro for just that single command.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

@overdrive-dev that’s what cursor has to say, make sense?

I think it is documented in the configuration section of the README
