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

gmail-multi 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Gmail Multi

Use this skill when working through the local gmail-multi MCP server. Treat the MCP server as the durable contract: it supports multi-account routing, Keychain token storage, safe modify actions, draft-first sending, and explicit confirmation for irreversible-feeling actions.

Core Rules

  • Prefer gmail_search_emails first for mailbox analysis. It returns message metadata, snippets, nextPageToken, and resultSizeEstimate.
  • Shortlist from search results before reading bodies. Use gmail_batch_read_messages only when snippets are insufficient.
  • Use gmail_read_thread when prior context changes a summary, reply, recipient choice, or urgency classification. Use max_messages for long threads.
  • Always state account, query/timeframe, result coverage, and whether bodies or full threads were read.
  • Treat "needs reply" as an inference from content and thread state, not a guaranteed Gmail signal.
  • Never use direct Gmail send. Create or update drafts, then stage send with gmail_send_draft, then confirm with gmail_confirm_send only after explicit user approval.
  • Use html_body plus a plain-text body fallback when a draft needs Gmail-safe rich rendering for code, JSON, compact tables, or other formatting.
  • For labels/archive/trash, prefer explicit message IDs. Query-based bulk labeling must go through preview and confirmation.

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.
