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

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 6d 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.
