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 C, and why

search scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

1. **Reject dangerous tokens.** If a value contains `$(`, backticks, `;`, `|`, `&`, `>`, `<`, or starts with `-` (could be mistaken for a flag), refuse and ask the user to rephrase. **Double-quoting does NOT block comman

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Input Safety — apply before any Bash invocation

Treat every $ARGUMENTS.* value as untrusted input. Before passing any value to the Bash tool:

  1. Reject dangerous tokens. If a value contains $(, backticks, ;, |, &, >, <, or starts with - (could be mistaken for a flag), refuse and ask the user to rephrase. Double-quoting does NOT block command substitution — "$(rm -rf /)" still executes inside double quotes.
  2. Prefer the Bash tool's argv contract over constructed shell strings. When you must use a shell string, single-quote the value and escape embedded single quotes ('\''), or build the command via printf %q.
  3. Any "$ARGUMENTS.foo" patterns shown below are illustrative. Sanitize the value first; never blindly substitute.

Search your Gmail inbox using Gmail's powerful query syntax.

What This Does

  1. Check Prerequisites

    • Verify gmcli is installed
    • Check if accounts are configured
    • Guide through setup if needed
  2. Execute Search

    • Run gmcli search with the provided query
    • Parse and format results
  3. Present Results

    • Show thread summaries (subject, sender, date, snippet)
    • Offer to read specific threads
    • Show thread IDs for follow-up actions

Gmail Query Syntax Examples

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.
