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

apple-mail 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.

Apple Mail

Interact with Mail.app via AppleScript and SQLite.

Commands

Command Usage
Refresh mail-refresh [account] [wait_seconds]
List recent mail-list [mailbox] [account] [limit]
Search mail-search "query" [mailbox] [limit]
Fast search mail-fast-search "query" [limit]
Read email mail-read <message-id> [message-id...]
Delete mail-delete <message-id> [message-id...]

Reply mail-reply <message-id> "body" [reply-all]
List accounts mail-accounts
List mailboxes mail-mailboxes [account]

Refreshing Mail

Force Mail.app to check for new messages:

mail-refresh                    # All accounts, wait up to 10s
mail-refresh Google             # Specific account only
mail-refresh "" 5               # All accounts, max 5 seconds
mail-refresh Google 0           # Google account, no wait

Smart sync detection:

  • Script monitors database message count
  • Returns early when sync completes (no changes for 2s)
  • Reports new message count: Sync complete in 2s (+3 messages)

Notes:

  • Mail.app must be running (script will error if not)
  • mail-list does NOT auto-refresh — call mail-refresh first if you need fresh data

Output Format

List/search returns: ID | ReadStatus | Date | Sender | Subject

  • = unread, blank = read

Gmail Mailboxes

⚠️ Gmail special folders need [Gmail]/ prefix:

Shows as Use
Spam [Gmail]/Spam
Sent Mail [Gmail]/Sent Mail
All Mail [Gmail]/All Mail
Trash [Gmail]/Trash

Custom labels work without prefix.

Fast Search (SQLite)

Now safe even if Mail.app is running — copies database to temp file first.

mail-fast-search "query" [limit]  # ~50ms vs minutes

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.
