What is notebook-query?

A command that asks questions about notebooks in Google NotebookLM, a service that answers questions using sources collected in research notebooks.

It is for listing notebooks, querying one or several notebooks, and presenting cited answers to a user's question.

It removes the need to open notebooks and search them manually, while keeping citations and follow-up context available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00007	$0.00153
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00061
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00001	$0.00031
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00015

Security

Grade A, and why

notebook-query scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

The user wants to query their NotebookLM notebooks. Their question: $ARGUMENTS

Steps:

Call notebook_list() to show available notebooks.
If the user didn't specify a notebook, present the list and ask which one(s) to query.
If the user wants to search all notebooks, use cross_notebook_query(query="$ARGUMENTS", all=True).
Otherwise, use notebook_query(notebook_id, query="$ARGUMENTS").
Present the response with any citations clearly formatted.
If the user asks a follow-up, reuse the conversation_id from the previous response.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
