google

A local emulator of Google sign-in and several Google services, including Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. An emulator imitates an online service so an application can be tested without using the real service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test Google OAuth and OpenID Connect sign-in, token exchange and refresh, Gmail messages and drafts, Calendar events, and Drive API calls.
Why use it?
It allows developers to test login, tokens, and Google-related API calls on their own machine. This avoids depending on live Google accounts and services during local development.

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Google OAuth 2.0 / OIDC + Gmail, Calendar & Drive Emulator

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE support, ID tokens, OIDC discovery, refresh tokens, plus Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive REST API surfaces.

Start

# Google only
npx emulate --service google

# Default port
# http://localhost:4002

Or programmatically:

import { createEmulator } from 'emulate'

const google = await createEmulator({ service: 'google', port: 4002 })
// google.url === 'http://localhost:4002'

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository vercel-labs/emulate (1,621 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 5,550 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
