What is notebooklm-cli?

A command-line interface for NotebookLM, Google’s tool for working with notebooks and their sources. It returns structured results for authentication, notebooks, sources, queries, reports, and Studio items.

Use it to manage notebooks and sources, query notebook content, create reports, and check or rename Studio items.

It gives an agent one consistent way to perform NotebookLM operations and inspect their results.

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	$0.00023	$0.00854
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00342
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00171
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00085

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 384aa629b280, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

notebooklm-cli 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (run.py, tests/__init__.py, tests/test_notebooklm_cli.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

notebooklm-cli

独立本地运行，不依赖任何 channel 注册。统一入口：

python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py <command> [op] [--flag value ...]

渐进式 help（给 LLM 先学契约）

overview：入口、环境变量、命令总览
schema：全部命令契约（推荐机器读取）
<command>：单命令契约
progressive：overview + 各命令契约链路

python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py help --topic overview
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py help --topic schema
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py help --topic progressive

如果需要底层原生命令帮助，可加：

python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py help --topic source --include_cli true

输入契约（统一）

command: help | auth | notebook | source | query | report | studio | raw
op: 命令内操作；不填走默认 op（见 help/schema）
兼容旧别名：action, *_action，新代码统一用 command/op
统一返回字段：success, command, exit_code, stdout, stderr, hints, error?

命令总览（精简）

auth: 登录与 profile 管理（profile_delete 强制 confirm=true）
notebook: list/create/get/describe/rename/query/delete（delete 强制确认）
source: list/add_*/get/describe/content/rename/delete（delete 强制确认）
query: notebook query 快捷入口
report: create（默认），强制确认，支持 format/prompt/language/source_ids
studio: status/rename/delete（delete 强制确认）
raw: 透传 argv；禁止 nlm chat start；delete 需 confirm=true

最小 E2E 示例

python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py auth check
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py notebook create --title 'NLM E2E'
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py source add_url --notebook_id '<nb-id>' --url https://example.com/article
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py query --notebook_id '<nb-id>' --question '总结 3 个关键结论'
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py report --notebook_id '<nb-id>' --confirm true
python3 skills/notebooklm-cli/run.py studio status --notebook_id '<nb-id>'

规则

删除前必须显式确认：confirm=true。
禁止交互式 nlm chat start。
鉴权失败先执行 auth/login 再重试业务命令。

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
