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

Google (gogcli) 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 5d 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.

Google CLI (gogcli)

Max can interact with Google services using the gog CLI tool. This covers Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Tasks, Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms, and more.

Prerequisites

  • gog must be installed: brew install steipete/tap/gogcli
  • OAuth credentials must be stored: gog auth credentials ~/path/to/client_secret.json
  • User must be authenticated: gog auth add [email protected]
  • Check auth status: gog auth status

If gog is not installed or not authenticated, guide the user through setup.

Important Flags

Always use these flags when running gog commands programmatically:

  • --json or -j — JSON output (best for parsing results)
  • --plain or -p — stable TSV output (good for simple lists)
  • --no-input — never prompt for input (prevents hanging)
  • --force or -y — skip confirmations for destructive commands
  • -a [email protected] — specify which Google account to use

What ships with it

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.
