gps-auth

gps-auth is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from appeeky/google-play-console-cli. It costs 40 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for connecting the gps tools to Google Play using a service account, which is a programmatic identity with assigned permissions. It also explains read-only access and common authentication errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting credential paths, checking the connection, enabling the Google Play Android Developer API, and diagnosing 401 or 403 errors.
Why use it?
It helps resolve missing credentials, login failures, and permission errors without exposing the credential file in the project.

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

gps-auth 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 4d 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

Google Play authentication (gps)

Setup checklist

  1. Create a Google Cloud service account.
  2. Enable Google Play Android Developer API.
  3. Invite the SA email in Play Console → Users and permissions with the needed app roles.
  4. Download the JSON key. Never commit it.

Credential precedence

  1. --credentials <path|json>
  2. GPS_CREDENTIALS / GOOGLE_PLAY_CREDENTIALS
  3. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
  4. ~/.config/gps/config.json{ "credentialsPath": "..." }
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/secure/path/sa.json
gps whoami

Safety flags

Flag Use when
--confirm Any write (deploy, reply, refund, gps call write ops)
--read-only Inspect-only CLI or MCP sessions
gps --read-only --package com.example.app tracks list
gps-mcp --read-only --credentials /secure/path/sa.json

Common failures

Symptom Likely cause
No credentials found Env/path not set
401 / Login Required Bad key, wrong library auth, or SA not usable
403 SA not invited in Play Console or missing permission
Empty reviews API window only returns recent reply-eligible reviews

Always verify with gps whoami before write operations.

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.
