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

outlook-scan 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.

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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

outlook-scan — on-demand mailbox access via Microsoft Graph

A CLI (outlook-scan, expected on PATH) that queries the mailbox live - read-only unless write mode is enabled (drafts only). Nothing is stored locally unless --save is passed.

Ground rules

  • Stdout first. Print results into the session; use --save DIR only when the user explicitly wants files kept (extraction, archiving, attachments). Confirm or choose an obvious target directory.
  • Message ids start with AAMk, conversation ids with AAQk. Both are long — always quote them in commands. thread accepts either kind.
  • The tool can never send, move, delete, or mark mail. With write mode on it can only create drafts for the user to review (see below).

Commands

outlook-scan list [--folder NAME] [--unread] [--since 24h|7d|2w|YYYY-MM-DD] [--max N]
    # metadata, newest first: "N. [date] ● sender — subject 📎" + id line
    # ● = unread, 📎 = has attachments. Default folder Inbox, max 25.
    # Folders: display names or aliases (inbox, archive/archiv, sent,
    # drafts, trash, junk/spam — English and German aliases built in).

outlook-scan search [--max N] "query"
    # server-side full-text search across ALL folders, relevance-ranked

outlook-scan get [--save DIR [--attachments]] "MESSAGE-ID"
    # full message as markdown (headers, attachment names, plain-text body)
    # --save DIR writes .md file; --attachments additionally downloads files

outlook-scan attachments [--save DIR] "MESSAGE-ID"
    # list attachments (name, size, kind); with --save: download them

outlook-scan thread [--save DIR] "MESSAGE-ID-or-CONVERSATION-ID"
    # entire conversation across all folders, chronological, one document

outlook-scan folders | status | login

All read commands accept --json for structured output.

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.
