gws-keep

A command set for Google Keep, Google's note-taking service. It can work with notes, attachments, and note permissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, read, list, update, or delete notes, manage permissions, and download note attachments.
Why use it?
It lets an agent manage Keep data from commands instead of requiring manual work in the web or mobile app.

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

gws-keep 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

keep (v1)

PREREQUISITE: Read ../gws-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run gws generate-skills to create it.

gws keep <resource> <method> [flags]

API Resources

media

  • download — Gets an attachment. To download attachment media via REST requires the alt=media query parameter. Returns a 400 bad request error if attachment media is not available in the requested MIME type.

notes

  • create — Creates a new note.
  • delete — Deletes a note. Caller must have the OWNER role on the note to delete. Deleting a note removes the resource immediately and cannot be undone. Any collaborators will lose access to the note.
  • get — Gets a note.
  • list — Lists notes. Every list call returns a page of results with page_size as the upper bound of returned items. A page_size of zero allows the server to choose the upper bound. The ListNotesResponse contains at most page_size entries. If there are more things left to list, it provides a next_page_token value. (Page tokens are opaque values.) To get the next page of results, copy the result's next_page_token into the next request's page_token.
  • permissions — Operations on the 'permissions' resource

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws keep --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema keep.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

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.
