  • Edit:

See lemma 3.3 in the first paper: $C^\infty$ and polynomial (by Solomon, cited in the paper) $W$-invariant differential forms on $\mathfrak h$ correspond to horizontal $G$-invariant forms on $\mathfrak g$.

I just noted: You are asking for $G$-invariants of $\bigwedge \mathfrak g^\star$, i.e., constant differential forms.
These describe the de Rham cohomology of a compact form of $G$, by the theorem of Chevalley and Eilenberg, and can be described as the set of primitive elements. See books, for example,
