-Set the following environment variables before starting the Gemini CLI. These variables can be loaded from a `.env` file.
-This configuration is not required if utilizing the [Admin toolset](#supported-tools).
+You will be prompted to configure the following settings during installation. These settings are saved in an `.env` file within the extension's directory.
+
+*   `CLOUD_SQL_MYSQL_PROJECT`: The GCP project ID.
+*   `CLOUD_SQL_MYSQL_REGION`: The region of your Cloud SQL instance.
+*   `CLOUD_SQL_MYSQL_INSTANCE`: The name of your Cloud SQL instance.
+*   `CLOUD_SQL_MYSQL_DATABASE`: The name of the database to connect to.
