What it does
Google Nest is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read Nest device state (thermostats, cameras, doorbells) and set thermostat modes and setpoints via the Smart Device Management API. Trigger phrases: google nest, nest thermostat, nest camera, sdm.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/google-nest.py`).
The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Phrases: google nest
- Nest thermostat
Example prompts
- “/google-nest”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- MEDIUM actuations confirm on first use per device. ThermostatMode.SetMode
- LOW actuations proceed with a logged notice.
- Cameras and doorbells expose read-only event traits (motion, person,
- Never set a thermostat to an extreme or to Off without the user naming
- Reads (auth, structures, devices, device) never need confirmation.
- Cost warning: one-time $5 Device Access registration fee per Google

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
googleapis.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Nest loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Google Nest
Purpose
Read traits and execute commands on Google Nest devices through the Smart Device Management (SDM) API: thermostats (mode, setpoints, ambient readings), cameras and doorbells (events, live-stream generation). Use it when the user asks about their Nest thermostat, wants to change heating/cooling, or wants camera/doorbell state. Thermostat commands start or stop real HVAC, so they are confirmation-gated (see Operating Rules).
Tooling
All commands go through bin/google-nest.py. --project is always the
Device Access project id:
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> auth # status check: list structures
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> structures # list homes
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> devices # list devices with traits
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> device --id <id> # read one device's traits
# Writes. Thermostat commands are MEDIUM: --confirm on first use per device,
# then proceed:
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> execute --id <thermostat-id> \
--command ThermostatMode.SetMode --param mode=HEAT \
--confirm "set the upstairs Nest to heat"
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> execute --id <thermostat-id> \
--command ThermostatTemperatureSetpoint.SetHeat --param celsius=21.5 \
--confirm "set the upstairs Nest heating target to 21.5 degrees"
# Camera live-stream generation is LOW (non-physical): proceeds with a notice:
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> execute --id <camera-id> \
--command CameraLiveStream.GenerateRtspStream--param values are JSON-parsed (mode=HEAT stays a string, celsius=21.5
becomes a number). The sdm.devices.commands. prefix is optional. The device
--id is the last path segment of the device name shown by devices.
Auth
- Provider id:
google-nest(credential is collected ascustom.google-nest) - Collection: OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow via the secure credential
flow (
credentials.request_api_access). Set up: create a Google Cloud project, register it in the Device Access Console (one-time $5 individual registration fee), enable the Smart Device Management API, and authorize with scopehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/sdm.service. Access tokens last about an hour; store the refresh token so the connector can renew. - Required scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/sdm.service - Allowed hosts:
smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com - Status check:
bin/google-nest.py --project <project-id> auth

Operating Rules
- MEDIUM actuations confirm on first use per device.
ThermostatMode.SetModeandThermostatTemperatureSetpoint.SetHeat/SetCoolstart or stop real heating/cooling:--confirm "<exact physical effect>"is required the first time a thermostat is actuated; the CLI records it locally (~/.config/muse-connectors/google-nest/confirmed.json) and later runs proceed. - LOW actuations proceed with a logged notice.
CameraLiveStream.GenerateRtspStreamonly mints a stream URL; it prints a notice and runs. The URL expires, so hand it to the user promptly instead of storing it. - Cameras and doorbells expose read-only event traits (motion, person,
package, doorbell press) via
device. They do not actuate hardware; treat event reads as data. - Never set a thermostat to an extreme or to Off without the user naming that exact change. Confirming "set it to heat" does not cover turning the system Off.
- Reads (
auth,structures,devices,device) never need confirmation. - Cost warning: one-time $5 Device Access registration fee per Google account; no recurring API fee, but per-project rate limits apply, so avoid tight polling loops.
- Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
