What should I read before I add a template?
Read who it messages, what it can spend, and whether any key, password, or address is written in the text.

A template is a recipe
Official templates carry instructions, skills and routines. They should not carry logins, history, or the computer itself. See https://x.ai/bot/guides/templates-for-grok-bot
Look for secrets
A key, a token, a password, or a list of email addresses does not belong in a recipe. The Safety Checker on this site flags the obvious shapes. It is not a guarantee.
Look for Ask first
If the text says Allow automatically and never says Ask first, do not add it until you rewrite that line.
Look for a wide listener
Every email, or every file, is a lot of access. Narrow it to a label or a folder.
Add it, then run it once while you watch
