For agent workflows, use a personal Google Account with Google AI Pro or Ultra, Keep Activity on and Personal Intelligence enabled. Choose Task beside Chat and select Monthly with @. Review Google’s first-task onboarding and data-sharing notice before continuing. After Monthly consent returns to Google, name the custom app Monthly and choose Connect to finish saving it. If linking expires, restart from Connected Apps with a fresh request. Custom connected apps currently require age 18+, US location and English; work/school accounts are excluded. Ordinary Gemini chat and Gemini CLI are separate surfaces. Reconnect the existing custom app if its Monthly grant is read-only; check actual scopes and accounts before drafting.
Prefer read-only access?
Select only accounts:read and posts:read during Monthly consent and leave both write permissions off. For OpenClaw or Hermes, change oauth.scope to those two scopes before signing in. Expanding an existing read-only grant requires reauthentication; tool selection alone cannot expand access.
What has been checked
An actual native Gemini Task passed profile, capability, account and post reads, draft creation, identical-request retry, editing, human approval, future scheduling, scheduling retry and cancellation. Individual write actions used Google’s Allow once confirmation. Monthly’s rendered grant and post state independently matched the returned results.
These October 29, 2026 checks used one text post that was scheduled for the future and immediately cancelled before delivery. Public delivery, image upload, live token refresh and Gemini CLI were not tested. Each customer must verify their own connection.
