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-gmail-forward 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 10d 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.

gws gmail +forward --message-id 18f1a2b3c4d --to [email protected] --draft

Tips

  • Includes the original message with sender, date, subject, and recipients.
  • Original attachments are included by default (matching Gmail web behavior).
  • With --html, inline images are also preserved via cid: references.
  • In plain-text mode, inline images are not included (matching Gmail web).
  • Use --no-original-attachments to forward without the original message's files.
  • Use -a/--attach to add extra file attachments. Can be specified multiple times.
  • Combined size of original and user attachments is limited to 25MB.
  • With --html, the forwarded block uses Gmail's gmail_quote CSS classes and preserves HTML formatting. Use fragment tags (, , , etc.) — no / wrapper needed.
  • Use --draft to save the forward as a draft instead of sending it immediately.

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.
