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

inbox-catchup 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 11d 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.

Inbox Catchup

Scan connected communication sources, build a prioritized briefing, and help triage and respond.

Configuration

Edit these defaults before uploading, or override at runtime when prompted.

sources: all                    # "all" or comma-separated: gmail, calendar, slack
time_window: 4h                 # How far back to scan: 1h, 4h, today, yesterday
priority_contacts: []           # Names/emails that always surface first
reply_tone: professional        # professional, casual, brief
auto_draft: true                # Offer to draft replies for items that need response

Process

1. Detect Available Sources

Check what communication integrations and tools are accessible in this session:

  • Google Workspace — Gmail (unread/recent emails), Google Calendar (upcoming events)
  • MCP servers — Check for any connected messaging tools (Slack, Teams, Discord, etc.)
  • Other integrations — Any other data sources available

Report what was found:

Connected sources:
  ✅ Gmail — via Google Workspace
  ✅ Google Calendar — via Google Workspace
  ✅ Slack — via MCP server
  ❌ Messages — not connected

If no communication sources are detected, explain what integrations are needed and how to connect them (Settings > Connected apps for Google Workspace, or configure MCP servers in Desktop settings). Then stop.

2. Ask Preferences (First Use Each Conversation)

If this is the first time running in this conversation, ask:

Quick setup for this catchup:

  1. Which sources to scan? (default: all connected)
  2. Time window? (default: last 4 hours)
  3. Any priority contacts to surface first?

Accept brief answers. If the user says "just go" or similar, use the defaults from the Configuration section above.

3. Scan All Sources

For each connected source, gather recent items within the time window:

Gmail:

  • Unread emails in inbox
  • Emails where the user is in To: (not just CC:)
  • Threads with recent replies

Google Calendar:

  • Events in the next 4 hours
  • Events that started in the last hour (may have missed)
  • Events with attachments or agenda docs

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.
