The googleworkspace cli is a high-performance, Rust-based command-line tool designed to manage the entire Google Workspace ecosystem, including Drive, Gmail, and Calendar. Unlike static tools, it dynamically generates commands by reading Google’s Discovery Service, ensuring it stays current as new API features are released. The utility is built with a dual focus on human efficiency through features like auto-pagination and AI integration via structured JSON outputs and specialized agent skills. It supports various authentication workflows, ranging from local desktop logins to headless CI/CD environments, while offering a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for seamless use with LLMs. Although it is a public project from the Google Workspace team, it is explicitly noted as not an officially supported product and remains under active development.
