adapter-patterns

A reference guide showing common ways to implement API methods in the Nylas adapter code, including files, pagination, and mock tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or testing resource methods in internal/adapters/nylas/.
Why use it?
It gives developers consistent patterns to follow when adding API integrations and reduces design decisions for each new method.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

adapter-patterns 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 yesterday.

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.

List Method

// GetResources retrieves resources for a grant.

    result, err := c.GetResourcesWithCursor(ctx, grantID, params)

    queryURL := fmt.Sprintf("%s/v3/grants/%s/resources", c.baseURL, grantID)

    queryParams := url.Values{}
    if params != nil {

    if err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&result); err != nil {

Get Single Method

// GetResource retrieves a single resource by ID.
func (c *HTTPClient) GetResource(ctx context.Context, grantID, resourceID string) (*domain.Resource, error) {
    queryURL := fmt.Sprintf("%s/v3/grants/%s/resources/%s", c.baseURL, grantID, resourceID)

    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    c.setAuthHeader(req)

    resp, err := c.httpClient.Do(req)
    if err != nil {

    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {

    var result struct {
        Data domain.Resource `json:"data"`
    }

        return nil, err
    }
    return &result.Data, nil
}

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.

adapter-patterns is a command published in the GitHub repository nylas/cli (68 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,843 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
