What is googleapiutils2 CLAUDE.md?

A Python wrapper around Google services including Drive, Sheets, Gmail, Admin, Groups, and Geocoding. It provides reusable classes for authentication, file operations, spreadsheet changes, monitoring, formatting, retries, and caching.

Use it to upload, download, copy, list, and monitor Drive files; create and edit Sheets data; work with related Google APIs; and automate access with service accounts.

It avoids repeating low-level Google API setup and common handling for authentication, pagination, throttling, retries, and stale cached data.

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	$0.02143	$0.02143
Opus 5.5	$0.00857	$0.00857
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00429	$0.00429
Haiku 4.5	$0.00214	$0.00214

Security

Grade A, and why

googleapiutils2 CLAUDE.md 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.

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.
