gws-script

A command-line tool for managing Google Apps Script projects, including their files, metadata, execution information, and metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating projects, reading or updating their contents, checking project metadata, and viewing execution or usage information.
Why use it?
It lets an agent work with Apps Script projects from the terminal instead of navigating the Apps Script editor.

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-script 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.

API Resources

processes

  • list — List information about processes made by or on behalf of a user, such as process type and current status.
  • listScriptProcesses — List information about a script's executed processes, such as process type and current status.

projects

  • create — Creates a new, empty script project with no script files and a base manifest file.
  • get — Gets a script project's metadata.
  • getContent — Gets the content of the script project, including the code source and metadata for each script file.
  • getMetrics — Get metrics data for scripts, such as number of executions and active users.
  • updateContent — Updates the content of the specified script project. This content is stored as the HEAD version, and is used when the script is executed as a trigger, in the script editor, in add-on preview mode, or as a web app or Apps Script API in development mode. This clears all the existing files in the project.
  • deployments — Operations on the 'deployments' resource
  • versions — Operations on the 'versions' resource

scripts

  • run

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws script --help

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