search

A command for searching Gmail conversation threads with Gmail's search syntax. It checks setup, runs the search through a helper agent, and presents the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding email threads by sender, subject, date, labels, or other Gmail search conditions after the Gmail command-line tool is configured.
Why use it?
It avoids manually opening messages or remembering how to run the Gmail command-line search tool.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 746 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 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.

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

This command delegates to the gmail-assistant subagent which will:

  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

Query Description
from:alice Emails from alice
to:bob Emails sent to bob
subject:meeting Subject contains "meeting"
is:unread Unread emails
is:starred Starred emails
has:attachment Has attachments
newer_than:1d Last 24 hours
older_than:1w Older than 1 week
label:work Has label "work"
in:inbox In inbox
in:sent In sent folder

Combine with spaces: from:alice is:unread newer_than:7d

Examples

/gmcli:search --query "is:unread"
/gmcli:search --query "from:[email protected] newer_than:1d"
/gmcli:search --query "subject:invoice has:attachment" --limit 5
/gmcli:search --query "is:starred" --account [email protected]

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.
