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 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/gmail_operations.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Automate Gmail operations including reading, sending, replying, forwarding, and managing emails. Useful for email automation, inbox management, and communication workflows.

Gmail

Read, send, and manage Gmail via OAuth authentication.


CRITICAL SAFETY RULES

These rules are MANDATORY and must NEVER be bypassed:

1. NEVER Send Without Explicit Approval

  • ALWAYS show the user the complete email (to, subject, body) before sending
  • ALWAYS ask for explicit confirmation: "Do you want me to send this email? (yes/no)"
  • NEVER auto-send emails, even if user says "send an email to X"
  • NEVER send multiple emails in a loop without per-email confirmation

2. Draft-First Workflow (DEFAULT BEHAVIOR)

  • ALL send/reply/forward operations create a draft FIRST
  • User sees the draft and chooses: yes (send now), no (delete draft), or keep-draft (review in Gmail)
  • This ensures user can ALWAYS review in Gmail UI before any email is sent

3. Sensitive Operations Require Confirmation

Operation Requires Confirmation
Send email YES - ALWAYS
Reply to email YES - ALWAYS
Forward email YES - ALWAYS
Send draft YES - ALWAYS
Delete draft Yes
Trash email Yes

4. Read Operations Are Safe

These do NOT require confirmation:

  • List emails, Search emails, Read email content
  • List labels, List drafts, Get attachment

Pre-Flight Check (ALWAYS RUN FIRST)

uv run python 00-system/skills/google/google-master/scripts/google_auth.py --check --service gmail

Exit codes:

  • 0: Ready to use - proceed with user request
  • 1: Need to login - run python3 00-system/skills/google/google-master/scripts/google_auth.py --login
  • 2: Missing credentials or dependencies - see ../google-master/references/setup-guide.md

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.
