ARGoogle just released an official CLI for Google Workspace, and it was built for AI agents first.
The tool is called gws. It reads Google’s own Discovery Service at runtime, so every Workspace API is available dynamically — no maintenance, no stale commands.
What the video couldn’t cover:
The architecture has two phases: it caches Discovery docs locally and parses requests against live schemas. This means an agent gets typed tools, not a guess at what the API might accept.
The 100+ SKILL.md files are structured agent task blueprints — not just docs. Workflows like “audit all external file sharing in Drive” or “create a project tracker in Sheets from a meeting transcript” are ready to connect to any MCP client.
Setup requires a Google Cloud project and OAuth scopes, which is the biggest friction point. Broad scopes have been a complaint from early testers. Justin Poehnelt (the creator) is actively soliciting feedback on this.
This is not an official Google product, though it’s maintained under the googleworkspace GitHub org. Worth knowing before you pipe it into anything critical.
Install: npm install -g @googleworkspace/cli
