Gatemini Documentation¶

This set of docs is aligned to the current Rust implementation in src/, not to historical marketing copy or one specific populated registry snapshot.

Naming note:

• gatemini is the binary, package, config directory, socket prefix, and MCP server name.
• PrismGate is the GitHub repository and release channel name.

Start here¶

• Architecture: daemon/proxy lifecycle, socket coordination, direct mode, restart flow
• Codebase Map: end-to-end tour of the source tree and runtime ownership
• Tool Discovery: the 7 meta-tools, three-tier search (BM25 → trigram → fuzzy), optional semantic search
• Backend Management: backend states, transports, health checker, prerequisites, concurrency
• Secrets & Config: .env load order, environment interpolation, secretref resolution, hot-reload boundaries
• Resources & Prompts: live gatemini:// resources and MCP prompts
• Sandbox: call_tool_chain fast paths and V8 execution model
• Token Efficiency: where the context savings come from and how to measure them
• Telemetry: what the code already tracks and what OTEL work is still proposed

Benchmarks and references¶

• Search Quality: code-backed search behavior plus a test methodology
• Token Savings: example measurement approaches, not a fixed source-of-truth registry size
• MCP Best Practices: external material mapped back to this project
• Competing Gateways: positioning context and tradeoffs

Source orientation¶

If you are reading code and docs side by side, start with:

• src/main.rs for shared initialization
• src/ipc/ for daemon and proxy behavior
• src/server.rs for the public MCP surface
• src/backend/ for transport implementations and lifecycle management
• src/config.rs for defaults and hot-reload behavior
