Caprock Files

Added

• Ask Gemini, on your own key. The second paid feature: a second model inside Caprock, billed to you by Google at their prices. Caprock never stores the key — it reads GEMINI_API_KEY from the daemon's environment at the moment of the call, and it is never written to disk, never accepted by the settings endpoint and never returned by one. A key we do not hold is a key we cannot leak; the cost is that you set a variable and restart, which the panel says plainly.

Questions travel with your own figures — today's and the week's spend, the top models and projects, what is running now — so the answers are about your machine rather than about software in general. Prompts, replies, tool output and file paths are never sent.

The model is yours to pick, priced before you spend: a question costs about 0.04 cents on Flash Lite and 1.00 cent on Pro. Answers are counted and priced beside your Claude spend, from the response's own token counts — which is what Caprock sent, not what Google billed, since there is no per-key billing API to reconcile against.

Not yet exercised against the live API. The token fields are taken from Google's documentation and every path is covered by tests against a stubbed endpoint, but no request has been made with a real key — so if Google names a usage field differently, a question would be recorded as costing nothing. Setting GEMINI_API_KEY and asking one question is what confirms it.
