Overview

This is a coherent Google Workspace CLI skill, but it asks for broad Google OAuth access and exposes commands that can send or modify account data, so it needs careful review before connecting an account.

Install only if you trust the `gog` CLI source. Connect the smallest set of Google services needed, use a limited account when possible, require explicit approval for sends and data-changing commands, and revoke OAuth access when finished.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If connected, the CLI and any agent using it may be able to access substantial Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar data for the selected account.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs the user to grant OAuth access to multiple Google Workspace services under a Google account, which is broad delegated authority.

Skill content
`gog auth credentials /path/to/client_secret.json` ... `gog auth add you@gmail.com --services gmail,calendar,drive,contacts,sheets,docs`
Recommendation

Use the least-privilege service set needed for the task, prefer a dedicated or limited Google account where possible, and review/revoke OAuth access after use.

What this means

A mistaken or overly autonomous invocation could send messages or change Google Workspace data.

Why it was flagged

The documented commands include actions that can send email and modify or clear Sheets data, and the scripting guidance could reduce interactive checks.

Skill content
`gog gmail send ...`; `gog sheets update ...`; `gog sheets append ...`; `gog sheets clear ...`; `For scripting, prefer --json plus --no-input.`
Recommendation

Require explicit user approval for mail sends, calendar writes, Sheets updates/appends/clears, and other account-changing actions; avoid `--no-input` for mutations unless the exact action was approved.

What this means

The local `gog` binary will handle Google OAuth tokens and account data, so its upstream source needs to be trusted separately from this instruction file.

Why it was flagged

The actual executable is installed from an external Homebrew tap and was not included in the reviewed skill files.

Skill content
brew | formula: steipete/tap/gogcli | creates binaries: gog
Recommendation

Verify the Homebrew tap and project provenance before installing, and keep the binary updated from a trusted source.
