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 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.

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.

Changes

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.
