Google Workspace CLI: Unified Command-Line Tool Built for Humans and AI Agents

▤ Summary

Google released a new Google Workspace CLI that provides one command-line interface across Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, Admin, and other Workspace APIs. The tool targets both human users and AI agents, and it adds structured JSON output, bundled agent skills, and an MCP server option for tool connections. It generates commands dynamically from Google’s Discovery Service, so API changes appear automatically without a new CLI release. The project is open source under Apache 2.0, but it is not an officially supported Google product and remains in active development. Community feedback is mixed, with some users praising the workflow while others report authentication and scope issues.
