google-maps

A location-search tool for finding places, viewing their details, and getting routes. It uses Google Maps data such as addresses, hours, ratings, reviews, and photos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find businesses or landmarks, compare nearby places, inspect hours and reviews, retrieve photos and contact details, get driving, walking, cycling, or transit directions, and convert addresses into map locations.
Why use it?
It puts place research, nearby comparisons, travel directions, and address lookup into one workflow.

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

google-maps 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (adapters/google-maps-api.ts), 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.

Google Maps

Overview

Google Maps — location search, place details, directions, and geocoding. Adapter-based extraction from internal APIs and SPA DOM.

Workflows

Find a place and get details

  1. searchPlaces(query)placeId, name, address, rating
  2. getPlaceDetails(placeId) → name, address, rating, hours, website, phone, reviews
  3. getPlaceReviews(placeId) → reviews with author, rating, relative time
  4. getPlacePhotos(placeId) → photo URLs with dimensions
  5. getPlaceHours(placeId) → weekly operating schedule
  6. getPlaceAbout(placeId) → description, category, attributes

Steps 2–6 all use placeId from step 1.

Search nearby and compare

  1. nearbySearch(category, location)placeId, name, address, rating
  2. getPlaceDetails(placeId) per result → compare ratings, hours, prices

Get directions between locations

  • getDirections(origin, destination) → driving routes with distance, duration
  • getTransitDirections(origin, destination) → public transit routes
  • getWalkingDirections(origin, destination) → walking routes
  • getBicyclingDirections(origin, destination) → cycling routes

All are entry points — pick the travel mode needed.

Geocoding

  • geocode(address)lat, lng, placeId from address string
  • reverseGeocode(lat, lng) → address, place name from coordinates

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.

google-maps is a skill published in the GitHub repository imoonkey/openweb (56 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 998 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
