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

goplaces 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 8d 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

goplaces

Modern Google Places API (New) CLI. Human output by default, --json for scripts.

Install

  • Homebrew: brew install steipete/tap/goplaces

Config

  • GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY required.
  • Optional: GOOGLE_PLACES_BASE_URL for testing/proxying.

Common commands

  • Search: goplaces search "coffee" --open-now --min-rating 4 --limit 5
  • Bias: goplaces search "pizza" --lat 40.8 --lng -73.9 --radius-m 3000
  • Pagination: goplaces search "pizza" --page-token "NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN"
  • Resolve: goplaces resolve "Soho, London" --limit 5
  • Details: goplaces details <place_id> --reviews
  • JSON: goplaces search "sushi" --json

Closest place to me

  • Get coordinates (prefer device location; otherwise ask for a location).
  • Use nearby search with a tight radius and limit:
    • goplaces nearby --lat <lat> --lng <lng> --radius-m 2000 --type cafe --limit 5
  • Pick the top result as the closest match unless distance is explicitly returned in output.

Directions (A → B)

  • Always fetch step-by-step walking directions (even if user just says “directions”):
    • goplaces directions --from-place-id <fromId> --to-place-id <toId> --steps --json
  • Prefer place IDs (resolve first if needed):
    • goplaces resolve "Hotel Zelos San Francisco" --json
  • Compare driving ETA alongside walking:
    • goplaces directions --from-place-id <fromId> --to-place-id <toId> --compare drive --steps --json
  • Units default to metric; use --units imperial only when explicitly requested.
  • Prefer metric output: format from JSON using distance_meters (m/km) and duration_seconds (mins). Use step distance_meters for each step.
  • Never paraphrase or reinterpret directions; emit steps[].instruction verbatim and do not reword compass directions.
  • Always include an Apple Maps link for Apple Watch that starts from current location:
    • Resolve destination to lat/lng (use goplaces resolve --json).
    • Format: https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=<lat>,<lng>&dirflg=w.
    • Use dirflg=d for driving and dirflg=r for transit.
    • Apple Maps URL scheme does not document cycling; if bicycling is requested, include the Apple Maps link without dirflg and note that cycling is not supported in Apple Maps links.
    • If the user explicitly asks for a fixed origin, use saddr=<lat>,<lng> and note that Apple Maps will open in preview mode (Steps) until they change origin to Current Location.
  • goplaces route is only for searching places along a route (Routes API), not directions/ETA.

Notes

  • --no-color or NO_COLOR disables ANSI color.
  • Price levels: 0..4 (free → very expensive).
  • Type filter sends only the first --type value (API accepts one).
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.
