What is google-workspace?

A connection to Google Workspace—the set of online tools that includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Contacts—through a command-line tool or Python client.

Searching Gmail, managing calendar data, and reading or changing files, documents, spreadsheets, and contacts.

It lets an agent work with these Google services from code instead of requiring separate manual browser steps. Access is handled through Google authorization.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00021	$0.03594
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.01797
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00719
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00359

Security

Grade A, and why

google-workspace 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 4 executable files (scripts/_hermes_home.py, scripts/google_api.py, scripts/gws_bridge.py, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Google Workspace

Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs — through Hermes-managed OAuth and a thin CLI wrapper. When gws is installed, the skill uses it as the execution backend for broader Google Workspace coverage; otherwise it falls back to the bundled Python client implementation.

References

references/gmail-search-syntax.md — Gmail search operators (is:unread, from:, newer_than:, etc.)

Scripts

scripts/setup.py — OAuth2 setup (run once to authorize)
scripts/google_api.py — compatibility wrapper CLI. It prefers gws for operations when available, while preserving Cogitum' existing JSON output contract.

First-Time Setup

The setup is fully non-interactive — you drive it step by step so it works on CLI, Telegram, Discord, or any platform.

Define a shorthand first:

GSETUP="python ${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.cogitum}/skills/productivity/google-workspace/scripts/setup.py"

Step 0: Check if already set up

$GSETUP --check

If it prints AUTHENTICATED, skip to Usage — setup is already done.

Step 1: Triage — ask the user what they need

Before starting OAuth setup, ask the user TWO questions:

Question 1: "What Google services do you need? Just email, or also Calendar/Drive/Sheets/Docs?"

Email only → They don't need this skill at all. Use the himalaya skill instead — it works with a Gmail App Password (Settings → Security → App Passwords) and takes 2 minutes to set up. No Google Cloud project needed. Load the himalaya skill and follow its setup instructions.
Email + Calendar → Continue with this skill, but use --services email,calendar during auth so the consent screen only asks for the scopes they actually need.
Calendar/Drive/Sheets/Docs only → Continue with this skill and use a narrower --services set like calendar,drive,sheets,docs.
Full Workspace access → Continue with this skill and use the default all service set.

Question 2: "Does your Google account use Advanced Protection (hardware security keys required to sign in)? If you're not sure, you probably don't — it's something you would have explicitly enrolled in."

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
