Google Photos#

Operate Google Photos through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the googlephotos connector with the oo CLI; OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Running an action#

Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected Google Photos. Do not run oo auth login or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action. Fall back to First-time setup only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.

1. Inspect the contract to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

bash

oo connector schema "googlephotos" --action "<action_name>"

2. Run the action with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

bash

oo connector run "googlephotos" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json

• --data takes a JSON object string or @path/to/file.json; omit it to send {}.
• The response is { "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }; the execution id lives under meta.executionId.

Each action is listed below with a one-line description; actions that change state carry a [write] or [destructive] tag. Before constructing --data, fetch the action's live schema with oo connector schema to get its authoritative input fields.

Available actions#

• add_enrichment — Add an enrichment item to a Google Photos album. [write]
• batch_add_media_items — Add existing Google Photos media items to an album. [write]
• batch_create_media_items — Batch create Google Photos media items from URLs or base64 payloads. [write]
• batch_get_media_items — Fetch multiple Google Photos media items by ID.
• create_album — Create a Google Photos album. [write]
• create_picker_session — Create a Google Photos Picker session for selecting items from the user's library. [write]
• delete_picker_session — Delete a Google Photos Picker session. [destructive]
• get_album — Fetch one Google Photos album by ID.
• get_media_item_download — Download a Google Photos Library API media item created by this application through connector file transit.
• get_picked_media_item_download — Download a picked Google Photos media item through connector file transit using its trusted temporary base URL.
• get_picker_session — Get the current state of a Google Photos Picker session.
• list_albums — List Google Photos albums visible to the current application connection. If you need the user to choose from their existing Google Photos library, use the Picker actions instead.
• list_media_items — List Google Photos Library API media items created by this application.
• list_picked_media_items — List media items selected from the user's Google Photos library in a picker session.
• search_media_items — Search Google Photos Library API media items created by this application.
• update_album — Update a Google Photos album title or cover photo. [write]
• update_media_item — Update a Google Photos media item description. [write]
• upload_media — Upload one media item into Google Photos from a URL or base64 payload. [write]

Safety#

• Untagged actions are reads (get / list / search) — safe to run directly.
• Actions tagged [write] change Google Photos state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.
• Actions tagged [destructive] remove or overwrite data — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.

First-time setup#

These are one-time steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

• oo: command not found — install the oo CLI (other platforms: https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md): bash

  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  
  

  powershell

  irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
  
  

• Not signed in / authentication error — sign in to your OOMOL account once: bash

  oo auth login
  
  

• scope_missing / credential_expired / app_not_ready / app_not_found — Google Photos is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: OAuth2) at: text

  https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=googlephotos
  
  

• HTTP 402 / OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT — billing stop. Recharge at https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.
